Taurine

About this product

What is taurine?

Taurine is an endogenous sulfur-containing amino acid, the natural content of which in the human body is relatively high, amounting to several dozen grams (approx. 1 g per kilogram of body weight). Taurine is not obtained naturally; the entire market demand is met by a synthetically produced product.

There are several main areas where the use of taurine is necessary. The first is the food industry, in particular the production of energy drinks. Another area where taurine consumption is steadily growing is sports nutrition. Due to the fact that most vegan and vegetarian diets are deficient in taurine and sulfur amino acids, it is recommended that people on these diets supplement their intake of taurine.

In order for infant formula to be properly balanced, the addition of taurine is necessary. The taurine content in the milk of other mammals is low (including cow's milk; whey proteins are the basis for the production of infant formula).

A taurine deficiency in the early stages of life has a negative impact on, among other things, brain and retina development.

Feed manufacturers are also recipients of taurine, with cat food producers definitely coming out on top. Cats need large amounts of taurine for their nervous system and metabolism to function properly.

Taurine is an essential amino acid for cats, which must be obtained from food. Taurine is also increasingly added to feed for certain species of fish (especially salmonids) and to fortifying preparations for poultry.
