Taurine may be helpful in some with congestive heart failure and hypertension. It has demonstrated some antiatherogenic effects in both animal and human studies.

Taurine has been added to most human infant formulas since the mid-1980s.
PDR for Nutritional Supplements 2nd ed. Thomson Reuters, Montvale, NJ 2008, p. 607
Pregnant women and nursing mothers should avoid taurine supplements unless recommended by their physicians. Those with congestive heart failure should only use taurine under medical supervision.
PDR for Nutritional Supplements 2nd ed. Thomson Reuters, Montvale, NJ 2008, p. 609
Taurine is contraindicated in those hypersensitive to any component of a taurine-containing nutritional supplement.
PDR for Nutritional Supplements 2nd ed. Thomson Reuters, Montvale, NJ 2008, p. 609
The use of diet supplements containing taurine is indicated for the nutritional support of infants and young pediatric patients requiring total parenteral nutrition via central or peripheral routes. The usage of diet supplements containing taurine prevents nitrogen and weight loss or to treat negative nitrogen balance in pediatric patients where the alimentary tract cannot be done through oral, gastrostomy or jejunostomy administration, there is impaired gastrointestinal absorption or protein requirements are substantially increased.
FDA Label
The diet supplements containing taurine are formulated as a well-tolerated nitrogen source for nutritional support. Administration of diet supplements regulates the level of plasma amino acid concentration, nitrogen balance, weight and serum protein concentration to reach normal values, thus improving the nutritional status.
Absorption
Oral administration of taurine was studied and it reported dose-dependent values of AUC, Cmax and tmax wherein a dose of 1-30 mg/kg ranged from 89-3452 mcg min/L, 2-15.7 mcg min/ml and 15 min respectively. Further studies in healthy individuals gave an AUC, Cmax and tmax in the range of 116-284.5 mg h/L, 59-112.6 mg/L and 1-2.5 h.
Route of Elimination
Taurine flows and gets distributed in veins and arteries and reports have observed the presence of a significant released of taurine in portally drained viscera, thus suggesting that the main elimination route of taurine is by the gut. This elimination route may be explained by the enterohepatic cycle of taurine.
Volume of Distribution
The distribution of taurine was studied under the two-compartment model and each one of the compartments gave a range for the volume of distribution of 299-353 ml/kg in compartment 1 and 4608-8374 ml/kg in compartment 2 in mice. Further studies in healthy indivudals gave a volume of distribution that ranged from 19.8 to 40.7 L.
Clearance
The clearance rate of orally administered taurine was reported to be dose-dependent wherein a dose of 1 mg/kg it presents a clearance rate of 11.7 ml min/kg, 10 mg/kg generates a clearance rate of 18.7 ml min/kg and a dose of 30 mg/kg reports a clearance rate of 9.4 ml min/kg. Further studies in healthy individuals generate a clearance rate that ranged from 14 to 34.4 L/h.
Taurine is not usually completely reabsorbed from the kidneys, and some fraction of an ingested dose of taurine is excreted in the urine.
PDR for Nutritional Supplements 2nd ed. Thomson Reuters, Montvale, NJ 2008, p. 608
Following ingestion, taurine is absorbed from the small intestine via the beta-amino acid or taurine transport system... Tautine is transported to the liver via the portal circulation, where much of it forms conjugates with bile acids... The taurine conjugates are excreted via the biliary route. Taurine that is not conjugated in the liver is distributed via the systemic circulation to various tissues in the body.
PDR for Nutritional Supplements 2nd ed. Thomson Reuters, Montvale, NJ 2008, p. 608
Taurine is present in high amounts in the brain, retina, myocardium, skeletal and smoth muscle, platelets and neutrophils.
PDR for Nutritional Supplements 2nd ed. Thomson Reuters, Montvale, NJ 2008, p. 607
Human studies showed significant increases in plasma taurine 90 minutes after consumption of a taurine-rich meal with levels declining to background within 180-270 minutes...

Taurine can be metabolized by diverse organisms to form different types of metabolites derived from the original form of taurine. In the human, the pathways that form the metabolism of taurine are divided in the formation of 5-glutamyl-taurine by the action of the enzyme gamma-glutamyltransferase 6 or the formation of taurocholate by the action of the bile acid-CoA:amino acid N-acyltransferase.
There are two sources of taurine in the body: dietary and endogenous. In mammals, taurine is synthesised in many tissues; the main sites are liver, brain and pancreas, predominantly in alpha-islets. Taurine is synthesised from cysteine and methionine in a few steps, one of which requires pyridoxal-5-phosphate (vitamin B6) as coenzyme of cysteine sulphinate decarboxylase. In species other than mammals, the biosynthesis of taurine has been poorly studied. The extent of synthesis varies widely between species. An adult rat consuming standard laboratory food produces about 80 % of its total body taurine and obtains the remainder from the diet. However, if required, rats can obtain all body taurine from biosynthesis, since rats fed taurine-free diets for extended periods do not exhibit any decrease in tissue taurine concentrations. Cats have low levels of activity of cysteine sulphinate decarboxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme for taurine biosynthesis, and are, therefore, dependent on a dietary source to maintain their body pool of this amino acid. Thus, taurine is an essential nutrient in cats.

Taurocholate, the bile salt conjugate of taurine and cholic acid, is the principal conjugate formed via the action of the enzyme choloyl-CoA N-acyltransferase.
PDR for Nutritional Supplements 2nd ed. Thomson Reuters, Montvale, NJ 2008, p. 608
In all vertebrates except mammals, taurine is the sole amino acid conjugated to form bile salts. Among the mammals, carnivores also tend to be conjugators of taurine only, whereas other species tend to conjugate both taurine and glycine. High concentrations of taurine are present in retina, liver, pancreas, central nervous system and white blood cells. The largest pools of taurine are found in skeletal and cardiac muscles, where it regulates intracellular Ca2+ concentration...
European Food Safety Authority (EFSA); EFSA Journal 10 (6): 2736 (2012). Available from, as of August 19, 2014: https://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/efsajournal/doc/2736.pdf
Oral administration of taurine in healthy individuals gave a plasma elimination half-life that ranged from 0.7-1.4 h.
The diet supplements containing taurine function by replacing the missing nutriments in the body. Taurine, as a single agent, presents different functions like substrate for formation of bile salts, cell volume regulation, modulation of intracellular calcium, cytoprotection of central nervous system, etc.
