That was back around 1850-1860, so that semen is quite old in this case. Taurine was found first in bull semen, thus its name. Natural taurine is produced from sea weed mainly but also from fish deposits like blood and intestines. Taurine used to be a traditional Chinese medicine milked from bovine livers (it is a major part of bile and this is where all bile is produced) but synthetic production has been mastered and today's taurine is cruelty-free. So what energy drinks contain taurine but not caffeine? Small doses increase energy and decrease injury potential, while larger doses are a sleep aid. I am giving it a try for frequent age-related aerobic activity-related cramps and minor strains, but I have read that it can cause extreme fatigue in doses over 1 gram/1000 mg, which actually would make it twice as useful. It also explains why I react differently to coffee, sugar, chocolate, etc. So it's just the Taurine, not the sugar, caffeine, etc.
I now understand why energy drinks containing Taurine magically reduces my sensation of pain about 20 minutes afterward. It is not clear, however, what the safe dosage would be for children, pregnant women or people suffering from certain medical conditions. Evidence suggests that doses of up to 0.1oz (3g) per day are safe for healthy adults. Since this compound is found both in foods and in the human body in relatively large amounts, it is considered unlikely to have any adverse effects. Since these drinks usually also contain caffeine, it is difficult to determine from tests whether any positive or negative effects they produce are due to the taurine, the caffeine or a combination of both. Possible negative effects include dehydration and abnormal heart rhythms. The supposed benefits of these drinks include increased energy, better mental performance and improved short-term memory. Their manufactures advertise many benefits, while others have expressed concern about possible negative effects, particularly if taken in combination with alcohol. Many energy drinks contain taurine as an ingredient. The compound is also manufactured synthetically for use in energy drinks and supplements. Although a vegetarian diet is lacking in 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid, many meat-free foods, such as nuts and some vegetables contain the chemical building blocks from which it is manufactured in the human body. Since adult humans are able to manufacture the substance from other compounds that are in plentiful supply, it is not normally considered an essential dietary requirement. Taurine is present in meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. There seems to be a popular belief that taurine-rich energy drinks may be the perfect “morning after” treatment after a night of heavy drinking. There is some concern, however, that this well-publicized finding may act as a disincentive for heavy drinkers to cut down their alcohol intake. Researchers at a well-known UK university claim that taurine may counteract the effects of heavy drinking on the liver because it prevents fat from building up in the organ. Bodybuilders take it as a supplement coupled with creatine, which may help in reducing muscle fatigue and soreness.ĭomestic cats must be given taurine in their diets. Many people may be familiar with this substance as a health supplement, and it is used in a variety of products. Studies have also suggested that it improves liver function in people suffering from some forms of viral hepatitis. There is evidence to suggest that this compound may help relieve the symptoms associated with congestive heart failure (CHF), a condition that reduces the heart’s ability to pump blood through the body. Taurine is being studied as a possible treatment for people with bipolar disorder. In other studies, diabetic rats lost weight and showed lower blood sugar levels. Studies on mice have shown that taking supplements while on a high fat diet kept them from gaining weight. It may reduce high blood pressure in adults and is being tested as a potential treatment for bipolar depression. Taurine and creatine may help reduce muscle fatigue.Īside from its known functions in the body, many additional benefits have been claimed, although, as of 2013, some of these have yet to be proven.
