What is L-Taurine? Taurine, also known as 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid, is a nonessential amino acid. It is the most abundant free amino acid in many tissues and is manufactured by other amino acids such as cysteine, vitamin B6 and methionin. Taurine is particularly high in foods such as milk, eggs, meat and fish. Furthermore, it is different from most other amino acids in that it is not incorporated into proteins. Physical activity depletes our Taurine reserves faster than most people can produce it. As a result, vegetarians, athletes and individuals lacking meat in their diets are at the greatest risk for deficiency, and stand to benefit the most from supplementing this life-crucial nutrient. As a catalyst to general amino acid efficiency as well as one of the most abundant amino acids in the human body, Taurine has a number of useful health benefits.
