牛磺酸是动物体内存在的一种含硫氨基酸,也是一种人工合成的氨基磺酸。氨基酸已广泛被人们认识,但牛磺酸往往被人们误认为中药牛黄同类。其实早在1900年科学家已经用牛磺酸与胆酸结合合成牛磺胆酸.用作强肝利胆药。因为牛磺酸本身具有降低肝脏胆固醇的含量。所以能减少胆结石的形成。 Taurine is a kind of sulfur-containing amino acids in animals and is also a kind of synthetic sulfamic acid. Amino acids have been widely recognized, but taurine is often mistaken for the same kind of Chinese medicine bezoar. In fact, as early as 1900, scientists have used taurine and bile acid synthesis of taurocholic acid. Because taurine itself has to reduce the content of liver cholesterol. So can reduce the formation of gallstones.
