Taurine and the Fish Free Diet

Taurine is a type of amino sulfonic acid, often referred to as an amino acid, which is a building block of protein. It is naturally occurring in the body and is found in high concentrations in the brain, retina, heart, and blood cells called platelets. Taurine is naturally present in animal-based foods such as fish, seafood, meat, poultry, and dairy products. However, it is also produced synthetically and is commonly added to energy drinks and dietary supplements. Taurine plays a role in various physiological functions, including bile salt formation, eye health, heart function, and the development and function of skeletal muscle, the central nervous system, and the cardiovascular system.
