Taurine (2-Amino Ethane Sulfonic Acid) was discovered more than two hundred years ago from animal sources. It is distributed in both mammals and non-mammals and its content is high in several vital tissues. For more than a century and a- half, taurine was regarded just as an end product of sulfur metabolism. Recently, taurine has been rediscovered and its beneficial effects in processes like epilepsy, hypertension, congestive heart failure and diabetes has been well documented.
