The Taurine is usually synthetic these days though not many countries have laws requiring manufacturers to identify animal products (even halal/kosher marking is usually optional).

Synthetic Taurine is much cheaper to produce than the extract taken from bulls so energy drinks using it are usually vegan by coincidence.

Red Eye is an energy drink in Australia (really nice too) that advertises its use of synthetic Taurine in order to market to vegans.

Well talkin bout thai food….i think the best i had eaten in kuwait was at ‘Bangkok Garden’..but they closed down. does any one know y or if they shifted elsewhere? Mark you should try oriental…you’ll definitely find taste there !…..with standard and quality. Their tom yam soup is the best as compared to the place in reggai, phuket,pattaya and mai thai as well.

Will have to try the red bull tho…

I read somewhere that mixing it with vodka was prohibited by health ministries in some countries.

This is called Krating Daeng and the Red Bull is the international brand created by an Austrian who was suffering from jet lag.

And to comment on shaknon’s dictionary definition of Taurine… Doesn’t bile eventually come out of a side we wouldn’t like to mention? >_<

lol Mark I just lost my confidence in your taste of food, or more appropriately, I know my taste is NOT nothing like yours. (No offense, just to make sure you don’t think I meant to)
Personally, I love “Phuket” rest., and so do many people I know. (again, to clarify, point of view).
Oh, and it’s been a successful business for over a decade. :)
