Exotic Nutrition's Taurine Supplement is a naturally occurring amino acid that plays a critical role in many essential bodily functions. While it is commonly used to support the health of pet skunks, taurine is also widely recognized as an essential nutrient for cats and beneficial for a variety of other animals. Unlike most amino acids, taurine is not used to build protein directly, but instead supports vital metabolic and neurological processes.
