Taurine 300 mg Explained: Molecule vs Transporter in CHEERS!
What is taurine, and how is the molecule different from the proteins that move it?
Taurine is a small amino sulfonic acid, not a protein, so its label entry does not belong in a daily protein total. Using the current UK label of CHEERS! as an example, this video separates the taurine molecule from the transport proteins that move it across a cell's outer boundary, and explains why a laboratory transporter study does not measure a finished gummy in your body. It then places the 300 mg taurine entry inside the complete three-gummy daily serving and its warnings.
