OstroVit Supreme Pure Taurine – pure taurine in powder form

OstroVit Supreme Pure Taurine is a powdered food supplement whose only ingredient is taurine. One serving (3 g, i.e. half a scoop) contains 3000 mg of L-taurine. The package contains 300 g of powder, i.e. 100 servings. The powder is unflavoured and contains no fillers, sweeteners or flavourings. The powder form suits those who find swallowing tablets uncomfortable, as a serving can simply be mixed with water or juice.

What is taurine?

Taurine, or 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid, is an organic compound classified as a biogenic amino acid. It belongs to the group of beta-amino acids, which, unlike alpha-amino acids, do not form peptide bonds and are therefore not building blocks of proteins. For this reason, taurine is also called a non-protein amino acid. In the human body, taurine is found in higher concentrations in, for example, the heart, the brain, the retina of the eye and blood platelets. The body can synthesise taurine from the sulphur-containing amino acids cysteine and methionine, and it is also obtained from food. Sources of taurine include fish, seafood, dried seaweed and meat. Taurine is a popular food supplement among physically active people.

How to use?

Mix one serving, i.e. 3 g (half a scoop), with 100–150 ml of water or juice. On training days, take one serving a day about 15 minutes before training. One serving is also the recommended daily dose, which must not be exceeded. Taurine is highly hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air, so lumps may form in the powder or it may become uniformly compact. This does not mean that the quality of the product has deteriorated – in such a case, break up the lumps before use.
