1. It is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry, food industry, and in the detergent industry and in the production of fluorescent whitening agents. Also used in other organic synthesis and biochemical reagents.
2. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used to treat diseases such as colds, fever, neuralgia, tonsillitis, bronchitis, rheumatoid arthritis and drug poisoning.
3. Strong liver and gallbladder effect: Guinea pig experiments show that
1) Taurine can relieve bile clogging and act as a choleretic agent.
2) Antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effects: lower body temperature by the action of the central 5-ht system or the catecholamine system.
3) Antihypertensive effect.
4) Strong heart and anti-arrhythmic effects.
5) hypoglycemic effect.
6) Taurine has the effect of relaxing theskeletal muscle and antagonizing muscle rigidity.
4. Taurine can promote the metabolism of nutrients, thereby improving the body’s antioxidant capacity and enhancing the body’s immunity; and taurine is involved in neuroendocrine regulation, enhancing myocardial contractility, while maintaining exercise capacity and fighting exercise fatigue, it can prevent Myocardial damage protects the liver.
