Taurine Supplement: A Study of One
Taurine is an amino sulfonic acid that the body makes and is not found in plant foods. Non-vegetarians eat about 40 – 70 mg/day and vegans have been shown to have lower blood levels.
Every once in awhile, I decide to experiment with taking a molecule that vegans have less of just to see if I notice anything from taking it. A couple years ago I took 1,000 mg of taurine for a week and didn’t notice anything.
For a couple reasons, I recently decided to experiment with it again and took it for 32 days at 500 mg/day. I noticed nothing good nor bad and stopped short of taking the full 50 capsules I had purchased.

I also didn’t notice any difference taking taurine. Neither did my wife. Nor one my friends. All of us are vegan.

Thoughts? I was considering taking 675-1350mg of Taurine a day in my supplementation regime.
AOR makes a vegan option.
Curious about the perceived neurological benefits and potential for improved cardiac function. I will let you know how I feel after a month.
