🕰️ Brief History

Taurine was first isolated in 1827 by German scientists Friedrich Tiedemann and Leopold Gmelin from ox bile. The name “taurine”
comes from the Latin word taurus, meaning “bull.”

Over time, scientists discovered that taurine is naturally produced by the human body and plays essential roles in many tissues, particularly the heart, brain, muscles, and eyes. Research throughout the 20th century expanded understanding of taurine’s involvement
in cardiovascular health, neurological function, and exercise physiology.

NOW Foods, founded in 1968, introduced Taurine 500mg as part of its amino acid supplement range to provide a convenient source of
this important nutrient for individuals seeking cardiovascular, neurological, and overall wellness support.
