Taurine Powder is an essential amino acid in cats and is vitally important for heart muscle function, vision, digestion and to maintain a healthy immune system. Taurine should be included in a cats' diet as it can't be synthesized in the body. It can act as nutritional support in cases of muscle tremors and nerve ailments. The addition of Taurine Powder to your cat’s diet can also play a role in muscle maintenance and performance.

How does Taurine Powder work?
Taurine is an essential amino acid in cats that they can't synthesize in sufficient quantities themselves, so it must be included in a cats' diet. The amino acid plays an important role in the immune system and is necessary for the health of the retina.
The daily requirement of taurine for a cat weighing 4 kg is about 500 mg. However, it can vary depending on age, condition, weight and the energy requirements of your pet. Kittens, pregnant and lactating cats and older animals have increased taurine consumption.
Taurine Powder can balance the daily taurine requirements of your pet and has an additional positive effect on numerous metabolic and organ functions. Taurine Powder can particularly help maintain a healthy retina. The powder contributes to a normal immune system and strengthens the vitality and well-being of your four-legged friend.
Taurine Powder is also a component of neurotransmitters responsible for smooth nerve function. Added to your cat’s diet as a complementary supplement, your animal may experience more comfortable movement and less muscle sensitivity.

Why do cats need taurine?
Unlike dogs and humans, cats cannot produce taurine in their body — they must consume it through their diet every day. Taurine is essential for heart muscle function, healthy vision, digestion, reproduction and a strong immune system. A deficiency can lead to serious health issues including heart disease and blindness.
What are the signs of taurine deficiency in cats?
Signs of taurine deficiency in cats can include vision problems, dilated cardiomyopathy (enlarged heart), digestive issues, poor coat condition and reproductive difficulties. If you suspect a deficiency, consult your vet. Daily supplementation helps prevent these issues from developing.
How do I give taurine powder to my cat?
Simply mix 0.5g (just over half a scoop) into your cat's daily food. It blends easily into both wet and dry food. One scoop corresponds to approximately 0.8g.
Is taurine supplementation necessary for raw-fed cats?
Yes — raw meat contains taurine, but levels can vary significantly depending on the cuts used. Heart and dark muscle meat are richer sources, but many raw feeders find that supplementing with taurine powder ensures their cat consistently meets daily requirements without guesswork.
Can I give too much taurine to my cat?
Taurine is water-soluble, so excess amounts are naturally excreted by the body rather than stored. The recommended maximum in complete cat food is 2,500mg per kg of dry matter. At the recommended dose of 0.5g daily, AniForte Taurine Powder is well within safe limits.
Is this product suitable for kittens?
Taurine is important at every life stage. For kittens, we recommend consulting your vet on the appropriate dose, as nutritional needs during growth differ from adult cats.
How long does one pack last?
At the recommended daily dose of 0.5g, a 100g pack provides approximately 200 days of supplementation — around 6–7 months supply for one cat.
