Taurine or 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid is an organic acid that is abundant in the tissues of many animals (metazoa), especially sea animals.[1] Taurine is also found in plants, fungi, and some bacterial species, but at lower levels. Taurine is a derivative of the sulphur-containing (sulfhydryl) amino acid, cysteine.

Taurine is named after the Latin taurus = bull, as it was first isolated from ox (Bos taurus) bile in 1827 by German scientists Friedrich Tiedemann and Leopold Gmelin. Although it is often called an amino acid, even in scientific literature,[2][3][4] it lacks a carboxyl group and therefore does not qualify as an amino acid.[5] It does contain a sulfonate group and may be called an amino sulfonic acid. Small polypeptides have been identified which contain taurine but to date no aminoacyl tRNA synthetase has been identified as specifically recognizing taurine and capable of charging it to a tRNA.

Taurine is an ingredient in many Energy Drinks and Energy Products. Some of the products including taurine are Vitamin Water - Power C, Red Bull, Rockstar, Power C Vitamin Water, Foosh Energy Mints, Buzz Bites Chocolate Energy Chews, 5 hour energy, Monster, Kickbutt, Amped Energy, Bawls, and DZL Gear Fitness Beverage. It is also found as an additive in no-rub contact lens fluids.
