Product Description
Taurine is a naturally occurring organic compound classified as a β-amino acid (not a true amino acid as it lacks a carboxyl group). It appears as a white crystalline powder, highly soluble in water but insoluble in organic solvents. While taurine is synthesized in the human body (from cysteine and methionine) and found in animal tissues (e.g., meat, fish, dairy), it is commercially produced via chemical synthesis or fermentation for industrial use. Known for its antioxidant, osmoregulatory, and cell-protective properties, taurine plays critical roles in biological processes and is widely applied in food, pharmaceuticals, and industrial sectors.
