General Description

2-aminoethanesulfonic acid, also known as taurine, is a sulfonic acid that is commonly found in the tissues of animals. It is a major component of bile and is also found in the large intestine and muscles. Taurine plays a crucial role in various physiological processes, including bile salt formation, modulation of calcium flux, and antioxidation. It is also important for the development and function of the central nervous system, as well as for regulating the heart and skeletal muscles. Taurine is considered an essential amino acid, as the body cannot produce it in sufficient quantities and it must be obtained through diet or supplementation. It is commonly found in energy drinks, as it is believed to provide a variety of health benefits, including improved exercise performance and enhanced cognitive function.
