Description
Why is Taurine Important?
Taurine is an organic compound that is concentrated in animal tissues. Although taurine is counted among the amino acids, taurine is actually a so-called aminosulphonic acid. It is accordingly not used for building body proteins.
Taurine is a main component of bile, is present in virtually all tissues and makes up to 0.1% of total human body weight. Taurine is named after the Latin taurus (a relative of the Greek ταῦρος), which means bull/ox, as it was first isolated in 1827 by German scientists Friedrich Tiedemann and Leopold Gmelin from ox bile.
Effects and Function of Taurine
Among the diverse functions of taurine in the organism are, for example, conjugation of bile acids, antioxidation, osmoregulation in cells, membrane stabilisation and modulation of calcium signal transmission. It is essential for the function of the cardiovascular system, as well as for the development and function of skeletal muscle, the retina and the central nervous system. Many other effects on the organism have been and are being described. There is evidence that taurine is very important for the function of mitochondria ("powerhouses of the cells"), as taurine is found especially in highly metabolically active tissues, including kidneys, liver, heart and brain.
Taurine in Food
Taurine occurs naturally in fish and meat. The average daily intake with a normal mixed diet is approximately 58 mg (in the range of 10 to 400 mg). Vegan diets contain virtually no taurine, which is why vegans have significantly lower taurine blood levels. The body attempts to counteract this by significantly reducing urinary taurine excretion in vegans. There is evidence that the ability for adequate synthesis of taurine was increasingly lost in the course of human evolution and endogenous taurine synthesis accordingly does not meet the requirement.
