A small molecule with a broad role in health

Taurine is a naturally occurring nutrient used across thousands of everyday products, with important roles in brain development, heart and eye health, healthy aging, microbiome balance, and animal nutrition.

Nutrition

Taurine is considered a “longevity vitamin”. It strengthens the immune system and promotes heart, muscle, and microbiome health. Supplementation restores taurine levels, which are lower in aging, vegetarian diets, and chronic diseases.

Functional food & beverages

Taurine is a naturally occurring, well-studied nutrient that supports energy metabolism and cellular function, making it a credible ingredient for functional food and beverage products.

Taurine increases endurance, thermoregulation, recovery

Infant formula

Taurine is essential for the normal retinal and brain development of humans and is one of the most abundant free amino acids in human milk. Since infants cannot make their own taurine, it is added to most human infant formulas.

Taurine plays an important role in early neurodevelopment

Personal care

Taurine is added to skin creams to reduce free radical damage, boost circulation, and help with cell rehydration. In hair products, taurine is used for strengthening hair and promoting hair follicle growth.

Pet food

Taurine is critical for normal vision and heart health. Because cats can’t make their own, taurine is a required ingredient in cat food (FDA, AAFCO). It has also been shown to improve heart health in dogs.

Surfactants

Taurine is used in the production of taurine-based surfactants, valued for their mildness, foaming properties, and compatibility with skin and hair.

Alternative proteins

Alternative proteins are made from plants, fungi, or single cells. Missing from each of these sources is the essential nutrient taurine, so products will require supplementation.
