Taurine is essential to cardiac function, comprising more than 50 percent of the total free amino acid pool of the heart. It is reported to modulate cardiac activity, possibly by stabilizing cell membrane transport of cations. It has also been shown to have an inotropic effect on the heart. Potassium and magnesium are important factors in contraction and relaxation of the heart muscle. Hawthorne contains potent antioxidant flavonoids, and optimizes cardiac functioning.
