The most common ingredients found in energy drinks are caffeine and sugar, and taurine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taurine is an amino acid found in abundance in meat and seafood. It&rsquo;s one of the prime ingredients in energy drinks, and therefore can be found in fair doses in many drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We know that this FDA- approved ingredient is very essential. However, a few energy drink brands don&rsquo;t include taurine as an ingredient in their products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The list is quite short, but some of the energy drinks that don&rsquo;t include taurine are<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/how-many-hi-ball-drinks-can-you-drink-a-day\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"529693\">Hiball<\/a> <\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/is-shine-energy-drink-bad-for-you\/\">Shine<\/a> <\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/can-you-drink-zoa-energy-every-day\/\">Zoa<\/a> <\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/does-nau-energy-drink-actually-work-the-truth\/\">Nau<\/a> <\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/riot-energy-drink-caffeine-and-ingredients-revealed\/\">Riot<\/a> <\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/bawls-energy-drink-caffeine-and-ingredients-revealed\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"535443\">Bawls Guarana<\/a><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There are more energy drinks without taurine, but the above-mentioned ones are the most well-known energy drinks without any traces of taurine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, we&rsquo;ll make use of the opportunity to discuss taurine separately as an essential ingredient included and sometimes excluded from different energy drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep on reading to find out more about energy drinks that exclude taurine as an ingredient.

target improving your physical and mental performance so if they don&rsquo;t include ingredients like taurine, they might lose their charm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And for the better, they are on a secret mission to discover such new ingredients that can be included in the new formulations that make them outsell them in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, taurine has been used to treat diabetes, epilepsy, and cardiovascular diseases, so let&rsquo;s check out how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Diabetes\"><\/span>Diabetes<span

<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taurine is made in the body during biosynthesis or the intake from the diet can be a source. Production of taurine mainly takes place in the liver and that too is in a very little amount.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/326476#side-effects\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/326476#side-effects\" target=\"_blank\">studies<\/a> suggest that taurine can play a role in making your body more sensitive to insulin which can help overcome some risk factors for type 1 as well as type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taurine may have several benefits for diabetic nephropathy as well, which is a kidney disease associated with diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Epilepsy\"><\/span>Epilepsy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who don&rsquo;t know what epilepsy is, epilepsy is a neurological condition in which the brain starts acting abnormally causing frequent periods of seizures. Or this can be times of acting unusual. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5737830\/pdf\/nihms924217.pdf\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5737830\/pdf\/nihms924217.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">study<\/a> suggested that as taurine has an effect on the release of calcium from cells, it may also have an impact on brain function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taurine is present in three areas of the brain which are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>The hippocampus<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>The cerebellum<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>The hypothalamus<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, researchers have also seen some disruptions in taurine balance in the brains of people who suffer from epilepsy.
