It's an organic acid that is the major constituent of bile.
It doesn't really perk you up according to scientific studies, although it may help to reduce muscle fatigue. Red Bull also contains massive amounts of caffeine, which were blamed for a death in France, leading to the products ban there.

It is a powerful antioxidant made by the body by synthesizing two other amino acids. It stabilizes cell membranes, regulates your heart beat, and helps your body move calcium in and out of cells.
It also regulates the activity of brain cells, and is a potent antioxidant that helps brain function by helping your body excrete toxins.
B/c it keeps all those natural "feel-good" brain chemicals, like dopamine and seratonin, in better balance, when you have the correct levels of taurine you feel good.

Taurine is an amino acid.
I think it's the caffeine that "perks you up" though.

I always thought Taurine was 'bulls bile' but I have never had that confirmed.

Taurine is made of bulls, chopped up very small.

taurine is extract of bull urine...hence the name RED BULL
red bull claims to not use the urine, but you are a fool if you believe that.
