Brand IP Statement(s) re: (c), (TM), (SM)

NOW(R) Taurine is a free-form amino acid that participates in a variety of metabolic processes.

General Statements: All Other Content

Taurine is a neurotransmitter, a neuromodulator and is involved in glucose uptake.* It is found in meats, fish, milk and eggs, but not in vegetable proteins, so supplementation is especially important for vegetarians.
