Plant-based Taurine
Taurine is an amino acid naturally present in the human body, where it plays a fundamental role in cellular energy metabolism, osmoregulation, and antioxidant defense. While taurine is predominantly found in animal sources, ALPHASCIENCE uses an exclusively plant-derived form — extracted from Jania rubens, a rare calcified red marine alga that is one of the only plants known to naturally synthesize taurine in meaningful concentrations.
This marine-sourced taurine is produced through controlled photobioreactor cultivation and processed using patented HTAC technology, which maximizes its bioavailability and combines it with the hydrating and protective properties of a marine carrageenan fraction.
Plant-based taurine: energizing skin cells from within
Skin aging is not only a structural process — it is also an energetic one. As cells age, mitochondrial activity declines, ATP synthesis slows, and the skin’s capacity to repair, hydrate, and renew itself is progressively diminished. Environmental stress, pollution, and fatigue accelerate this decline, visibly dulling the complexion and amplifying the first signs of aging.
Plant-based taurine acts directly on this cellular energy deficit. By stimulating mitochondrial activity, it increases ATP synthesis by up to 50% in vitro, measurably restoring the metabolic capacity of skin fibroblasts. Energized fibroblasts develop stronger cellular extensions, supporting the structural remodeling that maintains skin firmness and resilience. The carrageenan fraction complements this action by forming a protective film on the skin’s surface, shielding against pollution-induced dehydration.
Skin benefits
Plant-based taurine gives skin cells the energy they need to function, repair, and renew, with visible results on hydration, fatigue signs, and the first signs of aging from the first applications.
- Boosts cellular energy by stimulating mitochondrial activity and increasing ATP synthesis
- Visibly reduces signs of fatigue
- Stimulates fibroblast activity
- Protects against pollution-induced dehydration
