Any thoughts as to dosing/timing of taurine intake?

Bump this question...
What do you suggest dosing/timing with on a PH/DS cycle?

BTW great read.. BRB taking some taurine!

Would you suggest one of the optimal times to take taurine is after a workout. Say protein, taurine, and glutamine for a recovery stack?

Is there negative side effects for dosing taurine high?

I'll save you the hassle neon...
Here's a little "cut and paste" from SA:

BP - Even small doses will begin to have an effect, but it looks like anything past 10g/day has no additionaly effects.

Insulin resistance - 5g to 10g per day, again anything past 10g doesn't seem to do much.

Beta cell resistance - 4g to 10g per day.

Bile production - small doses up to 5g/day, once again anything past that doesn't seem to do much. Its effects are much more pronounced taking something like MT that increase bile as well, or taking it with choline which is also used to make bile salts. Its hepaprotective effects are related to its bile production.

Psych disorders - However much you need for it too work. You'll just have to play around with the dose. Plus for some people it might not even work at all. It and some inositol work pretty good for my OCD.

Attention/concentration - 1g+ however too much can make you tired. You'll have to figure out what works the best for you.

Excitotoxicity protection - 1g up to 8g, with the steepest part of the curve between 4g to 6g per day.

GABA upregulation and GABA producing neuron regrowth - I'm having a hard time figuring out the dose for this. The studies were done on rats, so it would seem pretty simple to just figure out the body weight ratio between rats and humans and go with that. However proportionaly humans have larger brains per body weight than rats and humans have a higher neuron density and a higher GABA neuron production cell ratio per neuron. So I'm completely lost as to what dose range this would come out to for a person. Actually up until I went looking through the studies I didn't even know it would do this. Keep in mind this is also a long term effect so it will take months before there is any noticable change.

As long as its on an empty stomach you should be fine, but I wouldn't take it with a large amount of protein though just in case. For endurance purposes you want to take it around half an hour before you work out, and for use as a sleep aid about half an hour before you go to bed. For those two purposes about 2g to 3g works well for most people. For anything else it doesn't really matter when you take it as it will build up slowly in your muscles, heart, liver, kidneys, and brain.

Anything past around 4g to 5g at once and the rest won't be absorbed. Additionally too much at once will cause stomach upset for some people because of its ability to hold water causing it to act as a laxative. Most of the studies showed little to nothing happening below around 4g/day, and no additional benifits past around 10g/day, so you'll want to aim somewhere in between that range.

I found that 3g's for me works real well as a laxative

I picked up a bottle of NOW's 500mg Taurine pills, I've read good things about Taurine and hope I can speak good about it too! Great information as always Neo.

ok so if taurine causes you to hold water at high doses, how does it help with back pumps? does it do so with the laxative effect basically flushing any extra water you might have or am i way off here?
