| Resumen: | The amino acid taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) is present in many sports drinks claiming to provide you with some special advantage. While taurine is not incorporated into proteins, our bodies contain a good amount (approximately 70 g in a 70 kg person) of it. It has been linked to physiological processes involving brain development and eyesight, and it has been used in the treatment of congestive heart failure and epilepsy. While taurine is suspected to be involved in many physiological roles in our bodies, mechanisms for its action have not yet been fully developed. It is one of the amino acids our bodies can synthesize or it can be provided in our diet. Infants (especially pre-term infants) are not generally able to synthesize taurine and it is provided from mother’s milk. Because of its importance in development, it has been included in infant formulas since the mid-eighties. |
