About
Taurine is a sulfur-containing amino acid abundant in the brain that functions as an inhibitory neuromodulator. Research suggests taurine activates GABA-A and glycine receptors, promoting neuronal inhibition that may support sleep. Animal studies show taurine reduces sleep latency and increases NREM sleep duration.
How It Works
Activates GABA-A and glycine receptors as an inhibitory neuromodulator; reduces glutamate excitotoxicity; modulates calcium signaling in neurons; supports melatonin synthesis.
