## Description

Taurine is a conditionally essential amino acid that is not utilized for protein synthesis, but is mainly found free in most tissues, especially throughout the nervous system.* It functions in tissues by stabilizing cell membranes and aiding the transport of potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium in and out of cells.* Taurine helps to generate and regulate nerve impulses and supports the maintenance of normal fluid balance; it is also used by the body in visual pathways, as well as in the brain and nervous system, where it works together with glycine and GABA as a neurotransmitter.* Natural color variation may occur in this product.

Review: Great Supplement, Great Price - This is a very important component to my cat food recipe that I have been making for 18 years. Cats need the supplement Taurine as they don't make it on their own or able to get it out of the food they eat, like dogs. This brand has stood the test of time. Current age of my cat is 18. He's doing great and not on any meds. Please consider feeding your pets a raw diet as it certainly can make a difference. Video of my, still going strong, 18 year old kitty.
Review: I decided to make cat food because well, I love my cat there I said it. I am still a masculine man who hikes mountains - Raw Cat Food Diet Recipe Made WITH Real Bones 2 kg [4.4 pounds] raw muscle meat with bones (chicken thighs and drumsticks or, better, a whole carcass of rabbit or chicken amounting to 2 kg; if you don't use a whole carcass, opt for dark meat like thighs and drumsticks from chicken or turkey and remove/don't use 20 to 25 percent of the bone; if using whole rabbit, which has a higher bone-to-meat ratio than chicken, dilute the extra bone by adding another 20 to 25 percent of plain muscle meat and skin and fat from rabbit, chicken, or turkey) 400 grams [14 oz] raw heart (best not to use use beef heart; if no heart is available, substitute with 4000 mg Taurine) 200 grams [7 oz] raw liver (don't use beef liver; if you can't find appropriate liver, you can substitute 40,000 IU of Vitamin A and 1600 IU of Vitamin D--but try to use real liver rather than substitutes) NOTE: If you cannot find the heart or liver and decide to substitute with the Taurine/Vitamin A and D, then remember to REPLACE the missing amount of organ meat with the equivalent amount of muscle meat. In other words, if you cannot find heart, you add another 400 grams of the meat/bones. If you can't find the liver, add another 200 grams of meat/bone. 16 oz [2 cups] water 4 raw egg yolks (use eggs from free-range, antibiotic-free chickens if you can)*** 4 capsules raw glandular supplement, such as, for example, multigland supplement by Immoplex. 4000 mg salmon oil (see note at bottom of recipe*) 800 IU Vitamin E ("dry E" works well) 200 mg Vitamin B-50 complex (i.e., four capsules of B-50) 1.5 tsp. Lite salt (with iodine) (optional: 4 tsp. psyllium husk powder (8 tsp. if using whole psyllium husks; see note at bottom of recipe**) NOTE: If you will not be using the food immediately and freezing for more than a week or two, toss in 4000 mg of additional Taurine to make up for what may get lost during storage. It is also not a bad idea to sprinkle extra Taurine from a capsule on the food as you're serving it two or three times a week, just to be certain your cat is getting plenty of this critical amino acid. 1. Remove about half of the skin from the muscle meat. Chunk up (i.e., cut) as much of the muscle meat (minus most of the skin if using chicken or turkey, but leave skin on if using rabbit) as you can stand into bite-sized (nickel-sized, approximately) pieces. Save the chunked meat for later. Do not grind it. 2. Grind the raw liver, any skin, raw meaty bones, and raw heart. Once ground, stir this meat/bone mixture well and return to refrigerator. 3. Fill a bowl with 2 cups of water and whisk everything (non-meat) except the psyllium. If you had to replace liver with Vitamin A/D or replace heart with Taurine, add the substitutes now. Add psyllium at the end -- if you're using it -- and mix well. Finally, put the three mixtures together--the "supplement slurry" that you have just mixed, the ground up meat/bone/organs, and the chunks of meat that you cut up by hand. Portion into containers and freeze. Don't overfill the containers. The food expands when frozen and you don't want lids popping off. Thaw as you go. The food shouldn't be left thawed in the refrigerator more than 48 hours before serving. To serve, portion into a 'zipper baggie' and warm under hot water in the sink. NEVER microwave the food. Cats like their food at something approximating "mouse body temperature." *Every two or three days, I suggest sprinkling a few drops of fresh salmon oil from a newly-opened capsule on to the cats' food. The Essential Fatty Acids in salmon oil are extremely fragile, and since we do not know exactly how much gets lost during freezing, I think it's wise to use a bit of fresh salmon oil directly on the food a few times a week. Most cats love the flavor. **Not all cats require additional fiber (psyllium) in their diet. If your cat has been eating low-quality commercial food for several years, especially dry food, she may have lost bowel elasticity and may benefit from the extra fiber. As a general rule, I recommend using psyllium when an adult cat first gets raw food. I rarely add much psyllium to my adult cats' diet. Bear in mind that some cats seem to get constipated without additional fiber, whereas other cats seem to get constipated if they get too much fiber. Each cat is unique, and you'll have to judge what works best for your cat. ***If you don't want to waste the egg whites and don't feel like making an angel food cake, poach them, grind them, and throw them in with the food. A nice phosphorus-free source of protein.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there a better brand of Taurine, not made in China.**
A: I did/do not have an answer for your question.  The containers I have (for making cat food) only list the IL address.  I contacted NOW after searching NOW's website and could not find anything that would answer your question.  This was their response:"Thank you for your inquiry.  As with most USP amino acids, Taurine is sourced from China.  We quality test the material in our US lab and use it in our formulations.We obtain 4,000+ raw materials. Because of the realities of the supply chain, these can come not only from the U.S. but from all over the world. Some materials are from China; sometimes by necessity. One reason is that compared to here in the U.S., China has far more non-GMO corn and soy from which some ingredients are made. Some of the raw materials that we do source from China are pharmaceutical grade; by definition of known - and in fact the highest - quality.Of course, we audit our suppliers and test all of our raw materials for identity, strength, physical properties, environmental contaminants (including microbes, heavy metals, and pesticides), and adulterants (such as pharmaceuticals) as specified. Some raw materials are traditional Chinese botanicals sourced from their native region, which is appropriate and expected.So country of origin is less important to us than the integrity of the raw materials, as tested to our stringent specifications and proven to be pure and potent. Our labsÃ¢ÂÂ capabilities are more advanced and our specifications therefore can be stricter than most companies'.https://www.nowfoods.com/supplements/quality-safety"I looked up USP referenced in their reply and this one explains it fairly well:http://qualitymatters.usp.org/what-letters-usp-mean-label-your-medicineAlso, from Wikipedia:"In 1993, about 5,000Ã¢Â"6,000 tons of taurine were produced for commercial purposes: 50% for pet food and 50% in pharmaceutical applications.5 As of 2010, China alone has more than 40 manufacturers of taurine. Most of these enterprises employ the ethanolamine method to produce a total annual production of about 3,000 tons.6"Although NOW references USP in their reply to my inquiry, it is NOT on the label.  If you read the web page listed above, this indicates they do not have the USP oversight.That said, so much is now sourced elsewhere that you can never be sure where anything comes from.  At some point you either pull into your shell and do not buy anything, or take the Indiana Jones' "leap of faith" and put some trust into the companies providing products (not just taurine).BTW, if the taurine is for yourself, there are "natural" sources that provide high amounts of this amino acid - also from Wikipedia - it occurs naturally in meat and fish.  If you are vegetarian, then you may have no choice but to trust these products, as Wikipedia also indicates vegans have reduced taurine levels in their system.  If it is for making cat food, you really have to trust someone as this is a critical ingredient.  Also, from what I gather on reading all this information, this is a non-natural source, i.e. it would not be extracted from meat or fish, but rather 'produced', which would be the same for all companies that sell taurine.In summary, although there may be a/some taurine product(s) available out there that are not made in or sourced from China, it may be very difficult to find.  If you find one that says mfg in USA, you STILL do not know where it was sourced.  Whether China or some other non-US source, you either have to trust the 'parent' company, or do without.P.S. posted comment to other reply suggesting bulksupplements - their response was it is also sourced in China

**Q: what is expiration dates? if I were to order 4 to 6 bottles how far out are expiration dates?????**
A: I have had my 8 oz. Now Taurine powder for several months now (I use it with my son and dog who have seizures.  I'm not 100% certain if it helps but my son's Mayo Clinic neurologist expressed interest in our use of it with our son.  It's something that is being looked at to help with seizures.).  I looked at the bottom and it expires 05/16.  It will be long gone before that date.

**Q: Is this taurine from a vegetarian source? If not, what is the source?**
A: "it says vegetarian/vegan on the label."  I believe what this means is it is "safe" for vegetarians and vegans in that it doesn't come from an animal source.  Taurine supplements are manufactured.  Our bodies produce some, but we generally get more from animal based products, mainly meat.  It is essential to add to cat food, if you make your own.

**Q: how many mg of taurine per serving?**
A: 1/4 level teaspoon equals 1 gram (1000 mg) of Taurine

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Prevents cat blindness & high blood pressure!
*by C***E on September 14, 2015*

This is perfect for cat health! My little 22 yr. old kitty gets this in/on his food. It melts in food like powdered sugar & disappears, or coats dry food. It's tasteless for him, no texture, or smell to clue him in that I'm putting something in his food. Taurine is required for cats, included in cat foods, but not in enough quantity from all I've been told. My vet says to give 1/8th tsp./daily on top of what is in cat foods. It's just peed off if there's more than the cat needs without harming the cat. Not enough leads to heart disease / blindness / & high blood pressure in cats. I wish I'd known about it 10 yrs. earlier before my cat had any of these problems. Now he's blind, has high blood pressure, & a bad heart, but the taurine I give him now has helped him keep on purring happily these last couple of years. He'll be 23 soon & I am positive it wouldn't happen without the taurine. All cat owners should add this to their cat's food (1/8th tsp./day). It will help younger cats not to be blind in their old age. This 8 oz. bottle lasts my kitty about 6 or 7 months, so it's very cheap as well as effective!
