TAURINE POWDER SUPPLEMENT FEEDING SUGGESTION:Ģ5mg/kg bodyweight daily mixed into moist food.Ĭats/Small dogs: Very small pinch, approx 250mg It is not harmful to supplement and may be beneficial to both raw, home cooked and commercially fed pets. So for cats and dogs particularly those prone to heart disease it may be advisable to add taurine to the diet. Most if not all commercial pet foods have added taurine after cooking but storage for long periods can reduce this and errors can occur. This is one of the reasons we recommend feeding a variety of meats and adding organ meats to a raw food diet. Some meats such as rabbit and lamb muscle meats have relatively low levels but the organ meats such as beef kidney and hearts contain larger amounts. It is found in reasonable levels in raw meats in particular the small mammals which form the normal diet of cats but is damaged by cooking particularly the very high temperatures used in commercial pet food manufacture. However, dogs may also be lacking in this amino acid if they are not eating enough fresh meat or eating cereal based diets such as processed foods. This is especially true for cats and the reason most cat foods contain added taurine. Taurine deficiency can cause blindness* (as in the cat food scandal in the US in the 1970s) deafness poor muscle development and heart disease in particular dilated cardiomyopathy.Įssential amino acids are a group of amino acids that cannot be synthesised in the body and must be obtained from the diet. Taurine is distributed throughout the body with high concentration in certain tissues including heart wall muscles, in the retina of the eye, and brain. They are essential to the proper functioning of the body. Taurine is an essential addition to your dog or cats diet for vegan or vegetarian diets, (which I do not recommend) restricted diets and promotes heart health.Īmino acids are essential for health and there are 22 amino acids present in the body which are the basic building blocks of protein. Our L-taurine powder does not contain any fillers or flavouring. And even dogs can be deficient in taurine in some circumstance though they can produce some in the body they may not produce enough for optimal health. It is the second most abundant in muscle meat after glutamine.ġ00% pure Taurine Powder is a human-grade supplement which may be added to your pets diet to help with deficiencies. Whilst this may not sound like I'm praising taurine from the rooftops if you've ever had chronic issues with sleep you'll know that getting this much good quality sleep every night is a godsend.Ĭombined with it being cheap it lasts for ages so I can't recommend this enough.Of course this is not a herb but an amino acid one of the building blocks of proteins.
Whilst it is not as effective as ZMA imo it does allow me to get a solid 4-6 hours uninterrupted sleep as well as a 1-2 hours after this wear I am sleeping on and off. How I came to find out about taurine as a sleeping aid I don't know but am glad I did. I had never thought about using this product before and only knew of it through its connection to a certain energy drink. Unfortunately, when I stop using ZMA the quality of my sleep drops dramatically and psychologically it's a bit of a downer knowing my sleep isn't going to be very good for a while.Īs such, I was looking for another product to use when on an 'off' cycle from ZMA. The longer the period of time I use ZMA the less effective I find it to be so for this reason I use it cyclically.
I regularly use and cycle on and off using ZMA.
