Chemical Structure:

Taurine is a derivative of cysteine (sulfur-containing amino acid). It is an oxidized sulfur-containing amine, not an amino acid due to lack of carboxyl group. It may be called an amino sulfonic acid. It is particularly abundant in oysters, mussels, bovine bile and human breast milk.
Taurine is mainly used in infant formula to make it more like human milk (cow's milk is deficient in taurine), as it is thought to be important in infant brain and retinal development. Taurine is also used in many functional drinks, and is often used in conjunction with caffeine. In medicine, taurine is contained in some drugs for common cold, fever, neuralgia, tonsillitis, bronchitis, rheumatic arthritis, eye disease and medicine poisoning. It is also known as it reduces blood sugar level.
