Taurine is also in fungi and some plants. I'm not into energy drinks, just Vitamin Water if it counts. I've read somewhere that Vitamin Water is vegan and Red Bull's taurine is synthetic.

Taurine is usually from animals. There is a synthetic taurine but it's not used often in foods yet.

Just to make sure, call the number on the back of the energy drink, if they have one and ask them. If they cannot answer or they don't know about the origin of the taurine, don't drink it.
