Product Overview
Taurine, also known as 2-Aminoethanesulfonic acid, is a naturally occurring sulfur-containing amino acid found abundantly in animal tissues, particularly in the heart, retina, and skeletal muscle. Unlike other amino acids, taurine is not incorporated into proteins but exists as a free amino acid, playing critical roles in various physiological processes. Our high-purity food grade taurine is produced by advanced chemical synthesis using high-quality raw materials, strictly following GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards, resulting in a white, odorless crystalline powder with excellent stability and high water solubility.
Taurine is widely recognized in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical industries as a multifunctional ingredient. It serves as a nutrient supplement for energy drinks and infant formula, a key component in eye health supplements, and a cardiotonic agent in pharmaceutical preparations. Our product conforms to multiple international pharmacopoeia standards, including GB 14759-2010, USP, and EP, ensuring consistent quality for global food safety and dietary supplement applications.
【 Applications & Recommended Usage】
Taurine is one of the most widely used ingredients in the global functional beverage and nutraceutical industries. It serves as both a food additive (GB 2760) and a nutritional fortifier (GB 14880) in China, offering flexible regulatory pathways. Below are key application categories and recommended usage levels based on GB 14880-2012, GB 2760 guidelines, and industry practice.
