Popularization of science: Taurine

Taurine is a kind of amino acid from the conversion of sulfur-containing amino acid, widely distributed in animal tissue cells, especially in Marine animals. The amount of taurine in the human body is about 0.1% of body weight and can be taken from the diet or synthesized by itself. Animal foods are the main source of dietary taurine, especially Marine animals. The average daily intake of taurine for the average person eating a normal diet is about 58 mg (9-372 mg). Taurine has the following physiological effects: 

1. Neural regulation: taurine is abundant in the brain, which can significantly promote the growth and development of the nervous system and cell proliferation and differentiation, and plays an important role in the development of brain nerve cells.

2. Antioxidant: Taurine can react with reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells to produce non-toxic compounds that play an antioxidant role and protect cells from oxidative damage.

3. Vision protection: taurine is rich in the retina of the eye and plays an important role in the health of the eye. Studies have found that taurine supplementation can play a role in protecting vision.

4. Enhance immunity: taurine can promote pituitary hormone secretion, activate pancreatic function, thereby improving the state of the endocrine system of the body, has beneficial regulation of body metabolism, and has the effect of enhancing immunity.

Taurine, as an important non-protein amino acid, plays a variety of physiological roles in the human body, including neuroregulation, antioxidant, vision protection and immunity enhancement. It is widely found in animal foods, especially Marine animals, and is one of the essential nutrients for human body. In daily life, taurine is widely used in food and beverage as a food additive. It is of great significance to understand the properties and functions of taurine for maintaining good health.
