Summary

Among the strategies that can improve the body's ability to counteract oxidative stress, the use of nutritional antioxidants has been investigated. Taurine is a "semi-essential" amino acid, also called a nitrogen compound, which has been used as an effective antioxidant due to its ability to neutralize hypochlorous acid, an extremely toxic oxidant produced by leukocytes in the inflammatory process in humans.
