For anyone curious, the taurine in energy drinks is almost certainly lab created, not pig liver or bull testicles or whatever. Still funny though.
Thanks, I was pretty sure monster is vegetarian-friendly
But monster is owned by pepsico, the genocide-friendly mega Corp :(
Steal monster or buy something else
Like Redbull? Im pretty sure it's even worse
i’m interested if you have any source about this
none, actually curious
I feel like synthetic taurine is a lot less available than actual pig liver, since the latter is an underused byproduct of a massive industry. I would be happy if I were wrong.
Synthetic taurine is everywhere, just search Amazon. It's sold alongside vitamins.
That is fair I give you that, but being sold on Amazon is no indication of the legitimacy of a product, tbh.
Finding a good source for most of it being vegan is hard, the best I've found so far is Healthline claiming "The form of taurine used in supplements and energy drinks is usually synthetic, meaning it’s not derived from animals."

And Monster energy is definitely synthetic taurine according to their faq.
That's good to know. I wonder if this means we're on our way to truly vegan dog food in the future.
