What is taurine?
Taurine was first discovered in 1827 by German chemists Friedrich Tiedemann and Leopold Gmelin, who isolated it from ox bile (Bos taurus) — hence the name. Contrary to popular belief, taurine used in modern supplements is chemically synthesised, not animal-derived, making it suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Classed as a conditional amino acid, taurine is made by the body from methionine and cysteine, but production can fall short during intense physical activity, prolonged stress, ageing or restrictive diets.
What taurine supports
Taurine contributes to normal nervous system function, is involved in bile acid conjugation needed for fat digestion, and helps maintain normal cellular electrolyte balance. It is also present at high concentration in the retina, supporting visual comfort.
