Taurine is no ordinary amino acid

Contrary to what is often read on the internet, the name taurine does not come from the fact that it is extracted from bull urine. Rather, it was discovered in 1827 in ox bile and isolated from it. The name thus comes from the Latin word for bull bile (Fel tauri) and from the Greek tauros for bull.

The known proteinogenic amino acids are so-called amino carboxylic acids that are able to form proteins. Taurine, on the other hand, is an aminosulphonic acid - a sulphuric acid with an amino group that cannot form proteins.
The human organism is capable of producing taurine itself, namely from the amino acid cysteine. However, in case of an increased need or a low-protein diet, it makes sense to take in more taurine through food or to use food supplements. Vegetarians and vegans can also benefit from a taurine intake, as plant foods only contain small amounts of taurine.
Good sources of taurine, on the other hand, are fish, pork, lamb, beef and poultry.

Thiamine for the heart

Thiamine, also known as vitamin B1, is one of the water-soluble B vitamins that must be supplied to the body in sufficient quantities every day.
Like almost all B vitamins, thiamine plays an important role in the body's energy metabolism and ensures that the essential macronutrients (carbohydrates, fat and protein) can be optimally utilised. In addition, thiamine is involved in the formation of red blood cells and supports the protection of cells against oxidative stress, an excess of free radicals.
However, the most interesting function of thiamine is that it is needed in the nervous system and that a vitamin B1 deficiency can lead to the disease beriberi. Beriberi mainly manifests itself in disorders of the nerves, muscles and cardiovascular system. For this reason, an adequate supply helps the heart to maintain its normal function.
In the context of the nervous system, B1 also supports the function of the psyche and ensures a balanced mental state.

Vitamin B5 for mental performance

Mental performance or mental efficiency includes various functions that affect the brain: intelligence and cognitive abilities such as thinking, perception, memory, retentiveness and learning ability.
An adequate intake of vitamin B5 can support mental performance.

In addition, pantothenic acid is responsible for the synthesis and metabolism of various endogenous substances: some neurotransmitters, vitamin D and steroid hormones. B5-dependent neurotransmitters include acetylcholine and serotonin; steroid hormones include cortisol, sex hormones and DHEA.
Another interesting steroid hormone is calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D3, in the conversion of which vitamin B5 is also involved.

Furthermore, pantothenic acid plays an important role in the energy metabolism of the organism and can help to reduce tiredness and fatigue.
