Taurine, also known as β-aminoethanesulfonic acid, was first isolated from bezoar, hence the name. Appearance is colorless or white oblique crystal, odorless, stable chemical properties, soluble in organic solvents such as ether, is a sulfur-containing non-protein amino acid, exists in a free state in the body, and does not participate in the biosynthesis of proteins in the body. Although taurine does not participate in protein synthesis, it is closely related to the metabolism of cystine and cysteine.



1. Taurine can promote brain tissue and intellectual development of infants.
2. Taurine can improve nerve conduction and visual function.
3. Taurine can prevent cardiovascular disease.
4. Taurocholic acid can increase the solubility of lipids and cholesterol, and relieve bile obstruction.
5. Taurine can promote the secretion of pituitary hormones, activate the function of the pancreas, thereby improving the state of the body's endocrine system and beneficially regulating the body's metabolism; it also has the effect of promoting the enhancement of the body's immunity and anti-fatigue.
6. Taurine can bind to insulin receptors, promote cell uptake and utilization of glucose, accelerate glycolysis, and lower blood sugar concentration.
7. Taurine can calm, analgesic and anti-inflammatory, and also prevent and treat frostbite, KCN poisoning and migraine.
1. Taurine is used in the pharmaceutical industry, food industry, and also in the production of detergent industry and fluorescent whitening agent. In addition, it is also used in other organic synthesis and biochemical reagents. It is suitable for colds, fever, neuralgia, tonsillitis, bronchitis, etc.
2. Taurine is used to treat diseases such as cold, fever, neuralgia, tonsillitis, bronchitis, rheumatoid arthritis and drug poisoning.
3. Although taurine is not an amino acid that constitutes protein, it is widely distributed. It is an essential amino acid for the growth and development of animals and plays an important role in promoting the growth and development of young.
4. Nutritional enhancer.
5. Used as a biochemical reagent.
6. Non-selective endogenous agonists of glycine receptors.
