Bemo Taurine - taurine for dogs and cats

Taurine is a compound from the amino acid group. It is considered an endogenous amino acid, which means that the body can synthesize it independently. Although taurine is synthesized in the bodies of many animals, in some cases, it may be necessary to supply it from external sources, especially in the case of certain animal species, such as cats. Taurine is an essential component in the diet of cats because they are a species that does not synthesize taurine in sufficient quantities. Taurine supplementation is also highly recommended for dogs suffering from heart and nervous system problems, as well as for breeds predisposed to such issues in the future.

However, taurine plays an important role in the bodies of many animals. Here are some key functions of taurine:

• Support for the cardiovascular system: Taurine plays a crucial role in maintaining a normal heart rhythm and cardiovascular function.
• Eye health: Taurine is present in large quantities in the retina, suggesting its importance for eye health.
• Neurological functions: Taurine is involved in various neurological processes, including neurotransmitter functions.
• Detoxification: Taurine can support the detoxification of the body, especially in the case of substances toxic to the liver.
• Regulation of blood sugar levels: Taurine may influence the control of blood sugar levels.
• Support for the immune system: Taurine plays a role in the function of the immune system.
• Antioxidant properties: Taurine acts as an antioxidant, helping to protect cells from oxidative stress.

A deficiency of taurine can lead to various health problems, including dilated cardiomyopathy, a life-threatening heart disease for animals.

The endogenous amino acid in the form of taurine contained in Bemo Taurine is particularly recommended as:

• support for heart function
• support for the nervous system
• support for proper blood flow
• for the health of the retina and vision
• a necessity in a cat's diet
