Holista Taurine for Dogs and Cats — Taurine is involved in many physiological processes in the body. It supports liver and heart function, accelerates muscle regeneration, and improves metabolism. This amino acid has a positive effect on the proper functioning of the nervous system. Taurine is an essential component of the diet for cats and also for dogs on high-fat diets. Supplementation is recommended to balance home-cooked and BARF diets.
Taurine is an endogenous amino acid, meaning it is produced by the dog’s or cat’s body only in small amounts, making dietary supplementation necessary. A taurine deficiency in animals can cause dilated cardiomyopathy — a serious, life-threatening heart condition. Additionally, taurine helps regulate body temperature and supports the absorption of valuable fats from food. It is also important for the development of brain ganglia.
Taurine is an amino acid found in the tissues and organs throughout the body — in the muscles, heart, brain, and retina. Unlike most amino acids, it does not form cellular proteins but plays several crucial roles in the animal’s body, including:
-
Strengthening the heart
-
Supporting proper blood circulation
-
Supporting the retina and vision
-
Promoting normal reproductive processes
-
Acting as an antioxidant to help slow down the body’s aging process
