What Does Rad Cat Use As A Source Of Taurine?

When considering essential nutrients, some of the most important are amino acids, such as taurine, which is very important for cats to eat in abundance. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and are very abundant in meat sources. Taurine, as well as at least 10 other amino acids are essential - which means cats must acquire these through dietary means and do not manufacture them on their own. Taurine is found in the highest concentration in the brain. When cats capture prey, the head is almost exclusively consumed first before any organs or muscle. The stomach and its contents, contrary to popular rhetoric, are almost never consumed. Logistically, it's impractical to use brain as a primary taurine supplement, but we, at Rad Cat, have chosen to use organ meat with the next highest concentration of taurine: the heart. Taurine is present in all meat, even in muscle, but the heart is an excellent source of this amino acid in high concentration. In addition to its nutritional value, cats find the flavor of heart irresistible! We do not add synthetic Taurine to our foods because adequate levels are provided by our natural muscle and organ meats.
