Taurine

Taurine is an amino acid that is involved in the formation of bile acids, regulates blood lipid levels, and supports cardiovascular health.

Taurine also helps improve fat absorption and maintains a normal level of energy in the body.

From a keto diet perspective, taurine is especially important as reduced carbohydrate consumption can lead to a deficiency of this amino acid.

Taurine is often added to sports drinks and energy drinks.

It can also be obtained from some foods available on the keto diet, including meat, fish, and seafood such as tuna, salmon, and shrimp. Taurine is also found in some dairy products, such as cheese and yogurt.

When following a keto diet, it is recommended to consider the body’s need for taurine and take additional supplements if necessary.
