Product Description
Taurine, also known as β -taurine, Cholic acid, taurocholine, was extracted from bezoar in the beginning. Taurine is a sulfur-containing non-protein amino acid, which is closely related to the metabolism of cysteine and cysteine, and has the functions of enhancing immunity, protecting the retina, myocardium, and anti-oxidation and so on. Taurine is also one of the most abundant free amino acids in mammalian tissues and has been widely concerned and applied to the food and beverage industry.
The Function and Application of Taurine
1. It could help to maintain brain function and accelerate the development of babies and children’s brains.
2. It plays an important role in the maintenance of normal vision.
3. It could accelerate the growth of the nervous system.
4. It could accelerate the digestion of fat and plays a role in gall bile metabolization.
5. It plays a role in endocrine balance, and it could adjust and protect the body’s cardiovascular system.
6. It could improve the immune system and help the growth of the body.
Taurine is a kind of nonprotein amino acid. As a nutritional enhancer, it is beneficial to the brain development, nerve conduction, visual function improvement, calcium absorption and lipid digestion and absorption of infants. It is a kind of amino acid with special physiological function in human body. It was first found in the bile of male cattle. It can be used not only in medicine, but also in food and other industries.
