Product Description
Taurine (Food Grade for Pets) is an essential amino acid crucial for the health and well-being of many pets, particularly cats. Unlike some animals, cats cannot produce enough taurine on their own, making it a necessary addition to their diet. Food-grade taurine is often incorporated into pet food formulations to support heart function, vision, and overall metabolic health. It is also beneficial for dogs, especially in high-performance or specialized diets. Taurine helps maintain healthy organs and can contribute to a vibrant, active lifestyle for pets. Quality food-grade taurine ensures safety and effectiveness, supporting your pet’s nutritional needs.

Applications
1. Cat Food (Essential for Cats)
Purpose: Cats have a unique metabolic requirement for taurine, which they cannot produce in sufficient quantities. It is essential for maintaining heart health, vision, reproduction, and overall vitality. Taurine supplementation in cat food ensures they get adequate levels to prevent deficiencies that could lead to serious health issues.
2. Dog Food (Supplementary for Dogs)
Purpose: While dogs can produce taurine from other amino acids, supplementation may be beneficial in certain cases, particularly for breeds prone to taurine deficiency or heart disease. Taurine is added to dog food for cardiovascular health, muscle function, and overall well-being.
Packaging
Taurine is available in 25kg fiber drums, Poly lined with pallets.
