Taurine

Description:

    Taurine, also known as β-aminoethanesulfonic acid, was first isolated from the bezoar, hence the name.Pure 

product is colorless or white oblique crystal, odorless, taurine is chemically stable, insoluble in organic solvents such 

as ether, is a sulfur-containing non-protein amino acid, exists in the free state in the body, does not participate in the 

body protein Biosynthesis. Although taurine is not involved in protein synthesis, it is closely related to the metabolism 

of cystine and cysteine. The cysteine sulfite carboxylase (CSAD) activity of human synthetic taurine is low, mainly relying 

on the intake of taurine in food to meet the needs of the body.

Function:

1.  Protect the retina

    Taurine accounts for 50% of the total free amino acids in the retina. Animal experiments have shown that the 

electroretinogram of cats lacking taurine shows extensive degeneration of rod cells and cone cells.

2.  Protecting myocardium

    Taurine has the effect of enhancing cardiac contractility. It can counteract the arrhythmia caused by foxglove,

which may be related to the effect of taurine on membrane permeability and ion flux, and maintaining intracellular 

calcium ion concentration.

3.  Taurine also has the effect of improving myocardial tolerance to hypoxia.

4.  Anti-oxidize effect

    Taurine has the ability to protect many cells, especially blood cells, from oxidative and free radical damage.

5.  Promote immune function

    Taurine has the function of increasing cellular immune phagocytosis and promoting the production of 

immunoglobulin.
