I purchased this taurine supplement for my cat and was quite concerned when I opened it and found the powder to be a distinctly orange colour.
Taurine is normally described as a white or colourless crystalline powder, and the pictures of this product also show a white powder, so the colour of the product I received was very unexpected.
I contacted the company to ask about the unusual colour. I was told that it is not contamination and that the product is not fake, but I wasn't given a satisfactory explanation or any batch-specific laboratory evidence to reassure me that the unusual colour is normal and that the product is what it is supposed to be.
I personally would not feel comfortable giving an unusually coloured supplement to my cat without being able to verify its purity and composition.
I am posting this review because other cat owners should be aware of the issue and make their own informed decision. I would be happy to update my review if the company provides independent, batch-specific testing confirming the identity, purity and safety of this particular product.
