Taurine

Taurine is a chemically synthesized organic amino sulfonic acid of high purity and stability, produced to strict quality standards for reliable, predictable supplementation. Unlike conventional amino acids, it does not participate in protein synthesis but serves as an essential functional nutrient involved in bile acid conjugation, cardiac performance, and retinal integrity. It is a mandatory inclusion in feline nutrition due to the cat's limited endogenous synthesis capacity, and is widely added to premium canine diets and aquaculture feeds to prevent deficiency-associated dilated cardiomyopathy.
