I heard this rumor that there was bull urine in energy drinks!
Is this true I would like to hear from someone who has looked this up or has known it as a fact.

The key ingredient in the Thai energy drink was taurine, an amino acid that was first discovered in bulls (this association is responsible for the Red Bull urban legend that the drink's active ingredient is bull urine or semen).

The Taurine in energy drinks is a synthetic form of the amino acid, so no. The FDA would never allow that!

That would be taurine - an amino acid found in animals like bulls.

I'm pretty sure if that were true, no one would buy them and there would be tons of lawsuits already.

there is Taurine, but it is not urine, it comes from the testes
