    taurine as a stimulant?

    The popular energy drink 'Red Bull' now has taurine, and they're claiming it's a stimulant. I've only ever known of taurine as a non-essential aa propagating creatine absorption, water retention, things of this nature. What the hell are these quacks talking about, a stimulant? Is there any truth to this, does anyone know?

    I'm on the site

    I think you mis-read

    I believe they're pushing it as an 'energy formula'...not toting Taurine as a stimulant... rather, as part of an energy-fomula-matrix
