Product Overview

Taurine (CAS 107-35-7) is a conditionally essential non-protein amino acid naturally existing in animal tissues. As a core functional ingredient for functional beverages and food health applications, it widely serves in energy drinks, functional food fortification, sports nutrition supplements, and pharmaceutical formulations to support energy metabolism, relieve physical fatigue, and maintain ocular and cardiovascular health.

It is industrially manufactured via mature ethylene oxide (EO) synthetic route. Using ethylene oxide, sodium bisulfite and liquid ammonia as primary raw materials, the production includes addition reaction, ammonolysis, neutralization, concentration, recrystallization and multi-step purification to deliver high-purity taurine with consistent quality for mass industrial production. It occurs as an odorless white crystalline powder, freely soluble in water. Our Taurine strictly comply with FCC, USP, EP and BP standards, suitable for global food, beverage, supplement and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

 

Main Functions

1.Energy Metabolism Support:.Acts as a core functional additive for functional beverages and energy drinks, effectively supporting energy metabolism and alleviating physical fatigue

2.Nutritional Support: Delivers nutritional support for eye health and cardiovascular health, widely applied in sports nutrition and daily dietary supplement formulas

3.Clinical Nutrition Raw Material: Serves as a fundamental raw material for pharmaceutical eye preparations and clinical nutritional products

Applications

1.Functional Beverages & Functional Food (Primary): Key fortifying ingredient for energy drinks, sports drinks, and functional food production

2.Dietary Supplements & Sports Nutrition: Used in fatigue-relief, eye-care and cardiovascular health supplement formulations

3.Pharmaceutical Industry: Applied in eye drops, clinical nutrition preparations and pharmaceutical intermediate manufacturing
