Taurine powder, also known as 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid, is widely distributed in various tissues and organs in the body. It is a sulfur-containing non-protein amino acid that can be synthesized by the human body. Taurine in food mainly comes from marine fish and shellfish.
Taurine mainly exists in the interstitial fluid and intracellular fluid in a free state. It is named because it was first discovered in cow bile.
Taurine is added to common functional drinks on the market to replenish energy and improve fatigue.
The pure product is colorless or white crystals, odorless, chemically stable, and soluble in organic solvents such as ether.
