It differs from most of them in carrying a sulfonic acid group where they carry a carboxyl group, and it is not used to build proteins. It occurs naturally in meat, fish and dairy, and the body also makes some from cysteine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe licence lists taurine as the only ingredient, with no non-medicinal ingredients. There is no sweetener, flavour or flow agent in the tub, just the white powder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePowder or capsules\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural Factors also sells Regenerlife L-Taurine 1000 mg in a 120-capsule bottle. A single 3 g serving of the powder equals three of those capsules, so the powder is the simpler route at higher amounts, while capsules suit people who would rather not measure anything. The 450 g tub also gives you far more taurine per container than a capsule bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to take it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdults 18 and over take 1 serving a day. Because taurine is the only ingredient, a serving is simply 3 g of powder. Consult a health care practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, and keep the tub out of the reach of children. The full directions and cautions are under How to Take.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it suits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdults who want a straight taurine powder with no additives, and people who take taurine every day and prefer one large tub to a run of small capsule bottles. It mixes into drinks you already have, which keeps the routine short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNatural Factors L-Taurine Powder FAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much taurine is in one serving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3,000 mg, which is 3 g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does the 450 g tub last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout 150 days at the label dose of 1 serving a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it have a taste?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has no added flavour or sweetener, so what you taste is plain taurine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs L-taurine different from taurine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. They are the same compound.
