Taurine

Sulfonic Acid Amino Acid Cardiovascular & Sports Energy Drink Grade CAS 107-35-7
The heart's most abundant amino acid — taurine protects cardiomyocytes, reduces blood pressure, improves exercise endurance, and anchors the global energy drink market at 1g per can.
Taurine is a unique sulfonic acid amino acid that functions not as a protein building block but as a free-form intracellular signalling molecule — stabilising cardiac membranes, regulating calcium flux, scavenging hypochlorite, and maintaining cell volume under osmotic stress. Its highest tissue concentrations are in the retina (50 mmol/kg), heart (30 mmol/kg), and brain, where deficiency causes irreversible damage.

SV Botanica supplies pharmaceutical-grade Taurine (≥99.0%, USP/BP) for cardiac, ophthalmic, and clinical nutrition applications, and food-grade Taurine for sports and energy drink formulations — synthesised, made at GMP-certified facilities, with full traceability documentation.

Manufacturing grade
  • Energy drinks and RTD — high water solubility at 10.5 g/100 mL (20°C) carries it easily in aqueous systems, and the instant fine-mesh grade is intended for beverage mixing. A slightly acidic taste profile is usually accommodated in the acid system of the base drink.
  • Sports nutrition powders — the 40–80 mesh food grade blends uniformly with common carriers and flows well in sachet and tub filling.
  • Pharma-grade specification — the ≥99.0% USP/BP grade is specified where a compendial standard is required by the finished-product monograph or by the customer's own specification.
  • Insolubility in alcohol — relevant when formulating tinctures or alcohol-based liquids, where taurine will not carry; an aqueous or aqueous-alcohol system is required.
  • Clinical nutrition formats — used in the clinical and medical-nutrition category, including infant and enteral formulations, where the compendial grade and full documentation are normally required.
  • Manufacturing scale — supplied in 25 kg multi-layer kraft bags with an inner PE liner for production-scale use, and 5 kg aluminium foil bags for smaller orders and trials.
  • Storage — moisture-proof sealed packaging with moisture specified at NMT 0.5%; 24-month shelf life on sealed, cool, dry storage.
  • Documentation — each batch ships with a CoA covering assay against the ≥99.0% USP/BP specification, heavy metals at NMT 10 ppm with lead at NMT 0.5 ppm, moisture and microbial limits.

Taurine Buyer's Guide: Cardiovascular vs Sports vs Energy Drink Applications

Taurine serves three distinct end markets with different dosing rationales: pharmaceutical cardiac formulations (1.5–3g/day), sports supplements (1–2g pre-exercise), and energy drinks (1g/250mL standard). All use the same ingredient — the application context and dose separate them.

Cardiovascular

Cardiac & Blood Pressure

1.5–3g/day · Meta-analysis confirmed BP reduction

Taurine is used in cardiac medicine in Japan in clinical and medical-nutrition formats. Inclusion levels are set by the finished-product formulator and by the claim position permitted in the destination market. The relevant supply characteristics are its high water solubility (10.5 g/100 mL at 20°C), the compendial ≥99.0% USP/BP specification and the 40–80 mesh particle size. Note that it is insoluble in alcohol, so aqueous or aqueous-alcohol systems are required. Ca²⁺ in cardiomyocytes, reduces oxidative stress in heart tissue. Specify pharmaceutical grade with USP/BP COA for this application.

Best for: clinical and medical-nutrition formats where a compendial grade is specified.
Sports

Exercise Performance

1–2g pre-exercise · DOMS reduction · Endurance

1–2g taurine 60–90 minutes pre-exercise reduces exercise-induced oxidative damage, attenuates post-exercise muscle soreness (DOMS), and extends time-to-exhaustion in endurance events. Mechanism: osmotic regulation in muscle cells, calcium-mediated force production support. Food grade is appropriate; cost advantage over pharma grade at these high-volume sports doses.

Best for: Pre-workout formulas, post-exercise recovery blends, endurance sports supplements.
Energy Drinks

1g/250 mL Standard

Global energy drink standard · Highly water-soluble

The energy drink industry standard is 1g taurine per 250mL can (Red Bull, Monster, and most major brands). Taurine is beverage-optimised: highly soluble, thermally stable through pasteurisation and UHT, pH stable at acidic beverage pH (2.5–4.0), and flavour-neutral. Specify beverage-grade or food-grade. Taurine counterbalances caffeine's pro-arrhythmic effects and reduces jitteriness.

Best for: Energy drink formulation, RTD beverages, electrolyte drinks.
Eye & Infant

Retinal & Neonatal

Retina: 50 mmol/kg · Infant formula: 4–6 mg/100kcal

Taurine is conditionally essential for neonates (premature infants cannot synthesise sufficient amounts) and is mandated in EU/FDA infant formula regulations at 4–6mg/100kcal. For eye health: taurine deficiency causes irreversible photoreceptor degeneration — supplementation is used in retinal protective formulations. Pharmaceutical grade with infant formula documentation required for neonatal applications.

Note: Pharmaceutical grade required for infant formula; full regulatory documentation provided.
Buyer FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

A pharmaceutical grade at ≥99.0% against USP/BP for clinical formats, a food grade at ≥99.0% for sports nutrition and energy drinks, an instant fine-mesh grade for beverage mixing, and bulk 25 kg manufacturing quantities.
It is highly water-soluble at 10.5 g/100 mL at 20°C, which makes it straightforward to carry in aqueous systems, and the instant fine-mesh grade is intended specifically for beverage mixing. The slightly acidic taste profile is usually accommodated within the acid system of the base drink.
No — it is insoluble in alcohol. This matters when formulating tinctures or alcohol-based liquids, where taurine will not carry. An aqueous or aqueous-alcohol system is required.
Assay against the ≥99.0% USP/BP specification, heavy metals at NMT 10 ppm with lead at NMT 0.5 ppm, moisture at NMT 0.5%, and microbial limits.
White crystalline powder, odourless, with a slightly acidic taste. Particle size 40–80 mesh. Moisture NMT 0.5%. Shelf life 24 months in sealed, cool, dry storage.
Where the finished-product monograph or your own specification calls for a compendial standard — typically clinical, medical-nutrition and ophthalmic-category formats. The food grade carries the same ≥99.0% assay but is specified where a compendial reference is not required.
25 kg multi-layer kraft bags with an inner PE liner for production-scale use, and 5 kg aluminium foil bags for smaller orders and trials. All packaging is moisture-proof and sealed. Custom packaging and private label are available.
Facility certification documents and the Certificate of Analysis for the batch. Halal and Kosher certificates are available on request. Material is made at GMP- and ISO-certified facilities.
