What is taurine?

Telonic acid was originally one of the ingredients of Chinese medicine beef and yellow, and it was also a normal sulfur -containing amino acid in the body. It can regulate the excitement of neuroma tissue and regulate the body temperature. , Anti -waste and other functions. In addition, it can improve the body's non -specific immune function.

Taurine powder

Adults can take 3 to 4 packs once, and can be taken 3 times a day, about 4.8g of taurine daily.

Therefore, taurine is essentially a sulfur -containing amino acid, which exists in a variety of tissue and organs of human and animals, and has no effect of enhancing sexual desire. Therefore, the foaming tablets made of taurine are not sex medicines.

In fact, many functional drinks also contain a certain amount of taurine. Of course, there are also bad manufacturers who directly pack taurine preparations as "health care products that enhance sexual function" false publicity and sales.

Which drugs contain taurine?

At present, the national approved medicines, in addition to the simple taurine particles (0.4g/pocket), taurine tablets (0.4g/tablets), taurine capsules (0.4g/grain), as well as "five -dimensional cattle) Sulfate oral solution ".

The five -dimensional taurine oral solution is equivalent to mixed compound oral solutions of taurine (20mg/10ml) and vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, nicotinamide, and vitamin D. , Aid therapy for anorexia, beriberi, and rough skin diseases; for the growth and development of nutritional supplements; after the disease is healed, the nutritional supplies of postpartum and postpartum and lactation periods, fever consuming diseases for diseases.

The "×× taurine foam tablet" put on this boy should be a pour tin tablet containing taurine and other ingredients. These foaming tablets are currently not approved by the drug regulatory department as a drug, but as a relatively loose management management. Health products (special foods) can be purchased online at will.

How will it affect the body if you eat taurine?

Usually "×× taurine foaming tablets" sold on the Internet, including taurine content, most of them, most of them are 100mg ~ 200mg/tablet. Dose 4.8g.

In the incident, the boy was invested in the "half -piece" bubble tablet. Based on 100 mg, it was not 2%of the daily dose of medicinal taurine. Our spirit brings great stimuli.

What are the special reactions of taurine when you encounter coffee?

Some people may ask: Will taurine itself be safe, and taurine will become poison or sex medicine when it meets coffee (girl coffee cups)?

At present, taurine and coffee encounters will not change chemical properties to form poison, nor will it become sexual drugs.

This incident reminds everyone again that young girls should pay attention to the "poison risk" that may exist in public and pay attention to self -protection.

It is also reminded that everyone should not be confused/misleaded by the overwhelming naive network "prank" video: although taurine (whether it is tossed, granules, capsules, or foaming slices) is safe, but secretly in the cup of others " "Regardless of foreign matter", whether the "foreign body" invested is poisonous, it is a harsh behavior, which may violate the law and cause serious consequences.

How to deal with accidentally drinking foreign medicine?

Many "warning information" on the Internet tells us that especially young girls who are alone, the drinks after leaving the sight cannot be drunk. For example, in a bar, go to the bathroom halfway, and the drinks after returning should not continue to drink.

If you accidentally drink a drink with odor/change, or wake up to doubt "poisoning", you should immediately seek safety protection, such as quickly inform the clerk, call your loved ones, or call the police directly. At the same time, it is best to let the clerk save the remaining drinks for evidence.
