Question

Is the Taurine found in energy drinks made out or cat or other animal pee?

Answer 1

Taurine is an Amino Acid that makes up all other Amino Acids. It is also located in the bile of all animals, including human to absorb fats and fat soluable vitamins. It is one of the few nutrients needed by our body that cannot be found in plants. Larget amounts are also located in our heart, central vervous system, skeletal muscle, and white blood cells.

Answer 2

No. Taurine is however a main ingredient in cat food. They need it or they slowly go blind.

Taurine was originally synthesized from Ox bile....but it is now completely synthetic.

Answer 3

No, I'm pretty sure it's a bile from cows.

I could be wrong about it being from cows, but it is definetly not animal pee.

Answer 4

Yes. It is made out of fermented yak urine.
