Taurine is an ingredient in most energy drinks. Scientists first discovered taurine in ox bile in 1827.

The name "taurine" actually references "taurus", Latin for "bull" or "ox". Urban legends have suggested that the taurine in Red Bull comes from bull semen and bull urine.

While it's true that taurine could be extracted from those sources, the taurine used in Red Bull and other energy drinks is synthetically produced.




Think I'll pass Padiho . .

Lol . . . I'd imagine it's similar to having a caffeinated eliquid like Doppio Espresso, although it really sounds a bit ' faddy ' to me Padiho.

Synthetic semen/widdle or not.

Nothing like a can of bull spunk in the morning.

It actually found in a lot more things than bull spunk, it's an amino acid "Taurine is found naturally in meat, fish and breast milk, and it's commonly available as a dietary supplement."

How does it work?

Researchers aren’t exactly sure why taurine seems to help congestive heart failure (CHF). There is some evidence that it improves the function of the left ventricle, one of the chambers of the heart. Taurine might also improve heart failure because it seems to lower blood pressure and calm the sympathetic nervous system, which is often too active in people with high blood pressure and CHF. The sympathetic nervous system is the part of the nervous system that responds to stress.

Also essential in a cats diet

With prolonged deficiencies of taurine, cats can develop central retinal degeneration,resulting in blindness. Dilated cardiomyopathy is another real risk. In this condition, the heart dilates, its walls become thinner and weaker, making the heart less effective and resulting in a form of heart failure.

- so Vaping for cats?

Never let it be said that vaping isn't a further education in itself GJ.

Seriously, how do you think Chris?  When the farmer decides to mate his prize bull with his best cows, do you think it gets left to chance?

I'll let you ponder on it

Yeah, but if it's going to be bottled instead, there must be a middleman ( so to speak ) involved...........if you see what I mean...((((cough))))
