hi according to what I read taurine is like an amino acid but lacks some stuff amino acids have but its present in our bodies and helps to keep too much sodium from getting into our blood cells while it keeps needed potassium and calcium n locked inside our blood cells,.so near as I could find out its not unsafe at all and is used in the body to keep us healthy. they also said it is high in energy drinks but is still at a safe level. so do notworry about. purineds are the things you shouild worry about as they cause painjul acidcrfystal in the blood causing gout.

@yoniarnon Hi this link can tell you what gout is
Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis that develops in some people who have high levels of uric acid in the blood. It occurs in about 4 percent of American adults, but is more likely to affect men than women.
