materials
Taurine is a conditionally essential amino acid. Taurine is naturally
occurring in our body, mainly in muscle, brain, heart and blood.
A person weighing 70 kg has approximately 70 g of taurine distributed
throughout the body. Put another way, a 70 kg person naturally has
in his body 70 times the amount of taurine contained in one can
of Red Bull? Energy Drink. Taurine is also contained in the daily
diet (scallops, fish, poultry) and in most infant formular.
"Conditionally essential" means that in some situations
or under certain conditions it is necessary to supply the body with
taurine. Relative taurine loss via the urine can occur in situations
of high stress and physical exertion. In these situations the excretion
of taurine via the urine increases and taurine cannot be synthesised
in the body in sufficient amounts.
Taurine is a non-protein-building amino acid.
