Taurine is a non-proteinogenic amino acid and a derivative of the amino acid cysteine, which has become a very popular ingredient in many sports and energy drinks in recent decades.

L-citrulline is a non-essential (not necessary to be consumed in food) non-proteinogenic (not a building block for muscles) amino acid that occurs in human diet only in small quantities.
