Taurine, like other amino acids, can help to protect the brain.

The amino acid taurine is present in every cell of the body, including the brain, where it plays a role in a number of physiological processes. Taurine is believed to function in the brain as a neurotransmitter, a chemical that aids in signal transmission between nerve cells. It also plays a role in controlling the levels of other neurotransmitters, and because of its antioxidant characteristics, it can aid in defending the brain against injury from dangerous chemicals known as free radicals.

According to certain research, taurine may assist to enhance memory, learning, and attention by controlling the activity of specific neurotransmitters like dopamine and GABA as well as by lowering oxidative stress and brain inflammation.

Treating FMS can be difficult due to its resistance to most treatments. However, a recent review suggests that hypnotherapy, a psychological intervention, could be effective in managing FMS pain.
