Questions & AnswersIs taurine made from bulls' testicles?

No. The amino acid taurine, which is an ingredient of Red Bull Energy Drink and other Red Bull products, is not derived from bulls or any other animals. Instead, it is a purely synthetic substance produced by pharmaceutical companies, which guarantees highest quality standards.

Taurine is an amino acid, naturally occurring in the human body and present in the daily diet.

It is involved in a wide range of biological processes including osmoregulation, which is the regulation of the body’s cellular water and electrolytic balance.

Taurine is one of the most abundant amino acids in the brain, heart and muscles.
