Kind of. It's a an aminoethanesulfonic acid found in bile in the lower intestine and also in animal tissue. It can be found in lots of animals, including humans. However, the taurine used in energy drinks is a synthetic.
I don't think so. I looked up the meaning of the word "taurine" and it said "of or like a bull; bullish." I think the drink Red Bull (an energy drink) contain taurine. I doubt if they would put bulls urine in a drink, and if they did there would surely be a large number of complaints to the health and safety department.
ajh1357@AOL.com answer: actually taurine derives from the word Taurus which means bull and the reason they called it that is because scientists found it in bull bile and extracted the ingredient and they found that it has many health uses such as weight loss and to help fight fatigue and that's why its found in most all energy drinks such as "Redbull" and "monster".

Does Red Bull cause kidney failure?
Red Bull does not cause renal failure.(Opinion- I work with End Stage Renal Disease patients.) Complications of consuming Red Bull is probable when a person is already in renal failure- acute or chronic. In fact, excess taurine -the amino acid present in Red Bull is excreted through normal kidney function. In the absence of functional kidneys, an accumulation is likely to develop in the human body. What I'm not sure of is what a lethal level of the taurine is. I know it is advised that patients on hemodialysis avoid taurine containing supplements as it is not effectively removed during treatements. Peritoneal dialysis patients likely share the same problem. References # #* Huxtable RJ. Physiological actions of taurine.

What happens if you drink too much red bull?
Red bull contains taurine(contains 3 times more caffiene than coffee),and enough taurine will make you crash.Well,overdose,... The statement above is a lie. Red bull has 80mg of caffeine - coffee has around 100mg per cup. Caffeine does not contain taurine. Overdosing of caffeine is an extremely hard thing to do on accident. You would have to MEAN to, and get hold of medical grade stuff to do it. Taurine does not make you crash. Taurine does absolutely nothing for you, good or bad. It is mostly a worthless amino acid as a supplement.
