Taurine

You may have seen it listed as an ingredient in your energy drink or dietary supplement and wondered what it was. Taurine is a type of amino acid that is essential to many body functions including the function of one's brain, heart, eyes, and more.

Discovered Nearly Two Centuries Ago

Scientists discovered it inside of ox bile in the early 1800's. It gets its name from the Latin word Taurus, which means bull or ox. It is found in all different types of animals. In humans it is found in the large intestine and can also be found in breast milk. Various different kinds of fish and meat products contain significant amounts of taurine. Plants, vegetables, and fungus however only contain only small trace amounts. It is also produced synthetically in manufacturing facilities around the world, including China, with more than 40 factories alone.

Synthetic Taurine Is Added To Many Products

Not only is it added to energy drinks, it is also added to cosmetics, solutions for contact lenses, premature infant formula, and other nutritional products. There is usually around 1 gram of taurine per 8 ounces of energy drink, however not all energy drinks actually contain it. There is an urban legend that the taurine found in one's energy drink actually comes from a bull's semen. While it is present in bull semen, along with most other various trace elements, bull semen itself is not actually added to any energy drinks. Other than the regular foods we eat in our everyday diet, virtually all other sources of taurine are synthetically produced in factories.

Taurine Is A Conditional Amino Acid

A conditional amino acid is one that is actually produced by the human body, as opposed to an essential amino acid that cannot be produced by the body. People who have had heart or liver failure, cancer, or diabetes often times cannot produce enough taurine and usually need to take additional supplements. Both nutritional supplements and energy drinks must contain vitamin B6 as well as several other B vitamins necessary to activate the taurine itself through an enzymatic process in the human body.

Is Taurine The Secret To A Long Life?

The Japanese culture has embraced taurine ever since it was first discovered. They consider it a key factor in having a long and healthy life. In addition to building proteins, which affect the function of the brain, eyes, and kidneys, it can also help balance electrolytes and insulin in the human body. Medical studies have also proven that taurine is beneficial to the health of the heart. It is estimated that the island of Okinawa has more people over a hundred years of age per capita, than anywhere else in the world. This may be indirectly correlated to the seafood diets of the local area, which are rich in taurine.
