Numerous studies have shown that supplementation with taurine provides a number of performance related benefits including increases in strength (22,23), fat oxidation during exercise, VO 2max , exercise time to exhaustion and maximal workload (21), and a reduction in exercise induced muscle damage and oxidative stress (21,22)
In addition to fat oxidation, L-carnitine also enhances insulin response, balancing glycogen levels by reducing carbohydrate use, consistent with an increase in body fat utilization
Researchers have also discovered that it plays a role in preventing coronary artery diseases (atherosclerosis)
