TaurineApplication
Taurine has obvious effects in preventing and treating iron deficiency anemia. Taurine can not only promote the absorption of iron in the intestines, but also increase the stability of red blood cell membranes;
Taurine is also a growth-promoting factor for bifidobacteria in the human intestine, optimizing the structure of the bacterial community in the intestine; taurine also has anti-oxidation and anti-aging effects;
Taurine can promote the return of acute hepatitis to normal; it has a protective effect on carbon tetrachloride poisoning, and can inhibit the increase of serum alanine enzyme caused by this. Taurine has a protective effect on nephrotoxicity. Taurine has a protective effect on the changes of rabbit primary renal tubular epithelial cells caused by cisplatin. It has also been reported that taurine can calm, analgesic and anti-inflammatory, and has a protective effect on frostbite and KCN. Poisoning and migraine headaches also have a preventive effect.
1.Taurine supplement
Although taurine is not an amino acid that constitutes a protein, it is widely distributed and is an essential amino acid for human growth. It plays an important role in promoting the growth of important organs such as the brain of children, especially infants and young children.
It is used as a nutritional fortifier ( especially for infants without breastfeeding ).
2.Taurine in energy drinks
It is an important energy additive for sports nutrition foods.
3.Taurine in medicine
It is used to treat diseases such as colds, fever, neuralgia, tonsillitis, bronchitis, rheumatoid arthritis and drug poisoning.
4.Taurine in other industries
It is used in the detergent industry and in the production of fluorescent whitening agents. It is also used in other organic synthesis and biochemical reagents.
5.Taurine effects
It is a non-selective endogenous agonists of glycine receptor.It is an essential sulfonated amino acid that regulates apoptosis in some cells and participates in many metabolic activities in the body. It is the metabolites of methionine and cysteine.
