Taurīnu iegūst arī sintezējot (internets saka, ka vismaz Monster un RedBull dzērienos izmantotais taurīns ir sintezētais - par to ir jautāts ražotājiem).


How is taurine made?
Taurine can be produced by the body (through biosynthesis) or produced as a man made chemical (through chemical synthesis).

Taurine Chemical Synthesis
Taurine can also be chemically synthesized (created artificially and not by the body). Synthesized taurine is used in commercial products. Taurine is created for both human medical/pharmaceutical purposes and for use within the pet food industry.
(..)
Commercially produced taurine is usually derived from isethionic acid.
