taurine

I think the implications is that cats could eat veggies laced with synthetic taurine...?

Cats need taurine which is not available from plants which is one reason why you shouldn't turn your cat vegetarian.

Sorry, taurine is not actually a stimulant even though it is commonly referred to as such.

Cats on the other hand are obligate carnivores and can't produce taurine amino acids, so they have to eat meat to survive.

See some of the other posts here about stuff like taurine and guarana.

I'm thinking the other ingredients in energy drinks, such as taurine and guarana, play a major role.

Unlike most other animals, they cannot biosynthesize taurine; they must find it in their diet, and it's mostly found in meat and meat products.

Not only does Monster have 160 mg of caffeine in each can, it also has 5,000 mg of guarana and 2,000 mg of taurine.

Same with energy drinks, these will have a different effect even when the same caffeine intake is the same due to presence of taurine.

Can you prove that taurine and ginseng do anything at all?

More likely, the focus effect is from the Taurine and Niacin.

I would take adenosine, guanine, taurine, and cytosine and pair them into double helices.

Why not, "Top 25 over 25?" We all know what happens when the taurine receptor count starts to tank...

I'm not sure if you were making a distinction between vaping and smoking, but I checked and there is indeed vapeable caffeine (plus taurine and flavoring.) I feel weird dropping a link, but search "Energy Shisha" if you're interested.

Taurine was originally extracted from bull's balls and hence when you drink a RedBull, you are giving a bull a...

My unqualified opinion is that the cause of his stroke wasn't solely caffeine (and perhaps Taurine) and other crap which constitutes.energy drinks.
