The discovery of taurine has a history of nearly 200 years.
In 1827, German scientists Friedrich Tiedemann and Leopold Gmelin isolated a new substance from cow bile, which was taurine.
In 1846, British chemist Edmund Ronalds confirmed that taurine also exists in human bile.
But in the following 100 years, taurine did not receive enough attention from people.
In 1957, Hayes et al. reported that insufficient taurine content in the food of kittens could lead to vision loss and even blindness, which attracted widespread attention.
Starting from the 1950s, with the development of amino acid technology, the powerful and unique effects of taurine were gradually revealed by scientists.
