Thanks for covering the dosage👍
Very good and usefull information. Thanks a lot Thomas. Stef
He mentioned what I have been saying for a while now - what you really want is not an insulin spike but insulin sensitivity of your insulin receptors. Insulin has very negative effects on the body if it spikes.
Taurine is one of the best things for heart health and attenuating glutamate issues. Better than l theanine. Extremely powerful for calcium regulation too. Paired with boron it can help energy and atherosclerosis as well. It really helps mycotoxin issues and helps sulfation. I'm really interested about d ribose for heart health too but I've never tried it. I have heart and glutamate issues.

Yeah, in theory, all of the supplements are good, but there is no evidence that shows taking these isolated compounds chronically will not lead to long-term health issues or brain related issues, which are extremely difficult to pick up in imaging or testing. If you can’t get these naturally, I think they have a net-loss effect. The only synthetic supplements I’d take are like Magnesium/vitamin d3, everything else can be found naturally, and if not, shouldn’t be consumed.

Taurine source ?
what may be even more important than the benefits of Taurine to muscle tissue is it's benefits to the kidneys. There are several papers that have been published showing that taurine appears to protect and possibly even restore the functionality to damaged nephrons. To what extent it can regenerate damaged nephrons is still being investigated. Taurine has been shown to play a role in four different forms of kidney disease: glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, chronic renal failure, and acute kidney injury (AKI). Taurine is a molecule that has multiple roles in kidney function, such as : Regulating the osmotic pressure and fluid balance in the kidney Protecting the kidney from oxidative stress and inflammation Modulating the renal transport of electrolytes and organic solutes Enhancing the renal excretion of toxic substances Preventing the development of kidney stones Improving the kidney function in diabetic and hypertensive conditions
The benefits of taurine on the aging process cannot be ignored. It's a powerful tool 🔧

Taurine is a supplement that figures prominently in anti-aging regimens. It is highly recommended by many to take daily amounts for this purpose alone. I take a minimum of 500mg every day and double the dose to 1g when I do workouts. After viewing this video I will experiment and increase the workout amount. Since I raised the dose of taurine for workouts I noticed a definite increase in performance. It was obvious from day one. Intensity and endurance is up noticeably. This is aerobic training not anaerobic but I highly recommend taurine for any kind of physical exercise, or even if you don't exercise vigorously at all. Wish I had known about it years ago.

The active ingredient if Redbull is caffeine. The Taurine help to mitigate the spike (smooth it out)of caffeine.
I used Taurine up to 1 gram a day. It helps with pain and recovery. However, it started make me feel very naseous and I felt like throwing up especially at night. So I stopped. Its a shame because it did help me especially for back pain. But idk about doing huge doses of aminos. They always make me feel weird.

Can you get enough naturally from foods that contain it, or do you think supplementing is better?

Only from freshly slaughtered meat and sea food.
As for taking it every day, older individuals (like myself) simply do not produce adequate amounts of taurine, so I take 1 gram each morning and one at bedtime. Thomas is probably spot on for younger people, though.

I only take it on days I work out.
taking 1000mg, would that me useless? (you recommended 3-6000)
I did NOT take taurine for some days. Struggled BIG time with sleep. Then took 6 grams of taurine in a shake and slept like a princess😲🙌🏻
Is it good for women or as good for women as it is for men?

@@wasimahmed1570 thank you. What is your source?
They say it helps with BPH also I have notice my urine stream is stronger.
I've been using this for a year now every day so I might alternate a bit more I guess. It's damn cheap indeed. And I've been going on the new data which has been very interesting. I can't say I ever noticed anything positive or negative though, this kind of stuff is hard to really notice imo. You really need controlled lab settings and testing etc to know. I just take it because it's cheap and it's supposed to do something :P
