What is taurine and what effect does it have?
Taurine is an aminosulfonic acid that is produced during the breakdown of the amino acids cysteine and methionine. Taurine is not used for protein synthesis, but is mainly found freely in most tissues, particularly throughout the nervous system [1].
In the adult human body, taurine can be found in particular in the muscles, brain, heart, blood and eyes[2].
As taurine is a non-proteinogenic aminosulfonic acid, it is not used for protein synthesis. It is a component of bile acid, or taurocholic acid.
In which foods does taurine occur naturally?
Taurine can not only be produced by the body itself, but can also be absorbed through food. The important amino acid can be found almost exclusively in animal foods such as fish, meat, eggs and milk.
If there is an increased requirement, taurine can also be taken as a supplement to food.
In addition to the Now Foods Taurine presented here, you can also find Double Strength Taurine from Now Foods as a 250 capsule or 100 capsule can with double the dosage of 1,000 mg per capsule in our range.
