What is Taurine

Taurine is separated from bezoar and is a substance necessary for human growth and development. It plays a vital role in the development of the nervous system of the fetus and infant. It also plays a vital role in medicine, food additives, organic synthesis and the synthesis of fluorescent whitening agents.

Taurine is a sulfur-containing non-protein amino acid that exists in a free state in the body. It generally does not participate in the synthesis of protein in the body, but is closely related to the metabolism of cystine and cysteine. The body's needs are generally met by ingesting taurine in food. Taurine can promote the development of infant brain tissue and intelligence. It can also improve nerve conduction function, prevent and treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and enhance the body's immunity to a certain extent. Taurine is now added to milk because it can promote better development of the baby's body, improve the child's body resistance and immunity, and reduce the chance of illness.

In order to help the body better replenish taurine, we should pay attention to adjusting our diet in daily life and eat more seafood, such as octopus, cuttlefish, shrimp and shellfish. In addition, the taurine content in squid, conch and cuttlefish is also relatively high. Health products also contain a certain amount of taurine.
