• What is Taurine?

  Taurine is a metabolite of the amino acid L-cysteine. Naturally occurring in the brain, retina, muscle, and heart, taurine is essential for infants for proper brain and retinal development. Interestingly, taurine is also essential and very important for cats.

  Taurine is abundant in seaweed, meat and animal source foods, excluding milk products. Vegetarians who do not consume meat should consider a supplement. Taurine is especially important for women who plan on having children.
