Taurine

Taurine capsules in packs of 100 to 250, and taurine powders of 227 g and 300 g. Capsule strengths in the titles are 500 mg and 1,000 mg, and some are vegetable capsules (vcaps), so compare the taurine per capsule and how many capsules make the daily serving. For the powders, check the serving size in grams and divide the weight of the pack by it to see the number of servings. The ingredient list shows what else a capsule or powder contains.

Frequently asked questions

Is taurine an amino acid?

Strictly speaking, no. Taurine is an amino sulfonic acid, not a carboxylic amino acid, and it is not part of proteins, but it is usually sold and listed alongside amino acids. Labels name it simply as taurine and give the amount in milligrams per capsule, or per serving of powder.

What does Double Strength mean on a taurine label?

It is a manufacturer's wording, not a unit or a regulated term. In titles it appears next to 1,000 mg, twice the 500 mg of the smaller capsules, but the label decides: compare the taurine per capsule and per daily serving, and the number of capsules in the pack.

How can I tell whether a taurine capsule is vegetarian?

Look for a vegetarian or vegan statement on the label and for the capsule shell in the ingredient list: gelatine is animal-derived, while hypromellose and other plant-based shells are not. Titles that say vcaps refer to vegetable capsules. A powder has no shell, but its ingredient list still applies.
