Taurine is a sulphur-containing amino acid. It was first isolated by German scientists in 1827, and its name comes from taurus, the Latin word for bull.
Food sources
Taurine is found mainly in animal foods: fish, shellfish, meat, poultry and, in smaller amounts, dairy. Plant foods contain very little, so vegetarian diets provide less taurine. The body can also make some of its own.
How supplement taurine is made
Despite the name, supplement taurine is made synthetically, not from animals, so taurine capsules are generally suitable for vegetarians. Labels list it in milligrams per serving, commonly 500 to 1,000 mg.
What to check before you buy
- The amount of each ingredient per serving, not just per capsule
- How many capsules make one serving and how many servings are in the pack
- Whether any ingredient sits inside an undisclosed "proprietary blend"
- An FSSAI licence number and the veg/non-veg mark on the pack
