Taurine, also known as β-amino ethanesulfonic acid, is the first separation from the bezoar, so named. Taurine powder supplied by Insen is pure white crystal powder with more than 98% purity. It is insoluble in ether and other organic solvents, is a sulfur-containing non-protein amino acids, in the body to the free state, do not participate in the body protein Biosynthesis.
