Functions and Applications

As an excellent food additive, taurine has been widely used in developed countries such as Europe, America and Japan. In order to ensure the healthy growth of infants and young children, the United States, Japan and other countries have clearly stipulated that the content of taurine in infant dairy products should not be less than 0.16mg/100mL. It can be used as a nutritional fortifier in food and beverages for pilots, astronauts, athletes, etc. to enhance physical fitness and relieve fatigue.

Taurine is added to animal feed as a feed additive, which can prevent and treat fish diseases and brighten the eyes of pets such as cats and dogs.
