What Is Taurine? Why Do Cats Need It?
Taurine is an essential amino acid that plays a major role in your cat’s heart, vision, digestion, and daily energy levels. Unlike humans, cats cannot produce taurine on their own. They must get it through their diet.
However, even “high-quality” cat foods often don’t provide enough taurine to support long-term health.
Taurine supports:
- Healthy heart muscle function
- Clear, long-term eye and retina health
- Steady energy and muscle performance
- A strong, responsive immune system
- Healthy digestion and nutrient absorption
Consistent daily taurine intake is one of the simplest ways to protect your cat’s long-term wellness.
