Categorically: no.

Firstly, that's the wrong way around. Bull sperm is made up of different substances, including the acid Taurine.

Taurine occurs naturally in all sorts of places, including human bile, bull bile, testes and urine.

It was first extracted from Ox bile.

Secondly, the Taurine that we find in food and drink products today is not extracted from any part of animals; who would want that job?! Instead, it is artificially made in laboratories.

You can drink energy/stimulation drinks without fear that you are ingesting bull sperm.

Neither. Taurine is a naturally occurring aminoethanesulfonic acid. It can be found in the bile and tissues of many animals, including humans. The name taurine comes from the latin Taurus meaning an ox or bull. This name was chosen as taurine was first discovered in ox bile in 1827. But don't panic that you may be drinking ox bile when you purchase an energy drink, the taurine used in energy drinks is a synthetic. Despite it's reputation, there is no scienctific evidence to suggest that taurine can give you an energy boost though.

How is taurine made?

I think its is bulls urine. Usually found in energy drinks. Taurine isn't bull's urine . . . the kind found in energy drinks is synthetically made in a lab. (ehow.com explains the process) The taurine in animal food is derived from skeletal and other parts of the protein they are using in their foods. The rumor about the bull's urine began because taurine was first found in the bile of bulls (which is why the root "taur" is now used).

Does taurine contain bull sperm?

Taurine, or 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid, is an organic acid. It is also a major constituent of bile and can be found in the lower intestine and, in small amounts, in the tissues of many animals, including humans. Taurine is named after the Latin Taurus, which means bull or ox, as it was first isolated from ox bile in 1827 by German scientists Friedrich Tiedemann and Leopold Gmelin. Bull sperm is made up of different substances, including the acid Taurine. Taurine that we find in food and drink products today is not extracted from any part of animals; who would want that job?! Instead, it is artificially made in laboratories. You can drink energy/stimulation drinks without fear that you are ingesting bull sperm.

Is red bull bull pee?

No. This is an urban legend. Red Bull energy drink contains taurine, a sulphuric acid. This acid was first isolated from a bull's bile in 1827 by German scientists. This is the source of the urban legend. Taurine is added because it is believed to be an energy source for some people. Given that this drink is supposed to be for energy, it is more likely that any "energy" is derived from the caffeine and sugar present in the formula than from the Taurine.
