![]() The main ingredients listed on a can of Monster include carbonated water, sugar, caffeine and various vitamins such as B3 (niacin), B6 and B12. ![]() ![]() Get your copy of my book, ” Are You a Monster or a Rock Star-A Guide to Energy Drinks: How They Work, Why They Work, How to Use Them Safely” on Amazon and wherever books are sold. Despite common belief, there is no bull sperm found in any commercially available Monster energy drink. Incidentally, the taurine in Red Bull is not isolated from bull semen as some circulating misinformation claims. We’ll discuss the WHAT IS IT, WHAT DOES IT DO, HOW MUCH IS TO MUCH for 30 of the most common energy drink ingredients. While taurine in small doses seems safe, no humans have ever been exposed to doses of taurine equivalent to what was used in the animal studies. So what does it DO? WHY is it in energy drinks?įor that answer, stay tuned for next week’s book excerpt, as we continue through Part THREE of the Energy Drink Guide. The tunicate was carefully dissected away from the testis and. Taurine is an amino acid, just not the kind of amino acid that is a “building block” for protein. Cumulative data show that taurine is much higher than other amino acids in semen of humans, hamsters, bulls, boars, dogs, pigs and guinea pigs (14, 23, 24, 27). Sperm cells were isolated from bull testicles obtained fresh from the local slaughter house. For 8 weeks, sperm was collected from four fertile bulls, yielding a total of 32 ejaculates. The name comes from Bos taurus, the genus and species of ox. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect on fresh and post-thaw beef bull semen quality of the supplementation of epidermal growth factor (EGF) to the semen extender at various concentrations (0-control, 50, 100, 200, and 400 ng/mL). As set out in Table 1, the addition of cysteine led to higher motility (57.8 ± 1.2), compared to the other groups (P < 0.001). However, many people are unaware of the Dos and Don’ts of handling Taurine Bull Sperm. The influence of certain additives on the standard semen parameters of frozen bull semen were evaluated in nine independent experiments. It is crucial to follow the right procedures to ensure maximum success rates in breeding programs. They were younger people, hence the “*”, but I couldn’t stand this gross eggageration (so.many.puns).įact-taurine was first isolated from ox bile in 1822. Handling taurine bull sperm can be a delicate and intricate process that requires careful attention and precise techniques. Taurine, which comes from the Greek (Tauros) and Latin (Taurus) words for 'bull,' is an amino acid that was originally discovered and isolated in an ox. The significantly enriched (P<0.05) pathways in spermatozoa were taurine and hypotaurine metabolism (observed metabolites taurine and hypotaurine) in zebu and glycerophospholipid metabolism (observed metabolites phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylserine) in crossbred bulls. I kid* you not, there were people out there who insisted taurine was a fancy name for bull sperm. One of the many reasons I decided to write an energy drink book is “bull sperm”. ![]()
