Research on taurine in improving sleep quality

Moderate supplementation of taurine can improve sleep quality, as it helps regulate the biological clock, shorten the time to fall asleep, increase the proportion of deep sleep, and improve overall sleep efficiency.

★ Promote GABA synthesis and neural inhibition
Taurine increases the synthesis of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA, a key sleep inducing substance) in the brain, enhances inhibitory neurotransmitter activity, reduces neuronal excitability, thereby alleviating anxiety and promoting sleep.

★ Extend deep sleep duration
Taurine can significantly increase the proportion of slow wave sleep (SWS) and rapid eye movement sleep (REM).

★ Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects
The ability of taurine to scavenge free radicals can alleviate oxidative stress damage to nerve cells, while inhibiting inflammatory factors such as MCP-1 by generating taurine chloramine, improving sleep disorders caused by chronic inflammation.

★ Regulating biological rhythms and emotions
By enhancing the activity of melatonin precursor (diethylamine), indirectly regulating circadian rhythm; Simultaneously alleviate anxiety and stress, and reduce the interference of emotional factors on sleep.
