    Brain PH And Lactic Acidosis: Quantitative Analysis Of Taurine Effect

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1336578 Abstract A quantitative analysis of taurine effect (facilitation of acid handling capacity of brain in response to anoxia/hypoxia by high levels of cytosolic taurine) was performed utilizing multinuclear (1H, 31P) in vivo nuclear magnetic resonance...

    Taurine Analog Reverses Alzheimer Disease

    The substance EPPS is essentially a modified taurine to give it longer half-life and probably (inadvertently) make it more toxic in the process. Regular taurine is just fine and accumulates in tissues where it is needed, so it does not need to float around in the blood to do its good. The human...

    Doesn't This Ray Peat Quote Apply To Taurine?

    "Even if free amino acids could be produced industrially without introducing toxins and allergens, they wouldn't be appropriate for nutritional use. Although some research shows that babies up to the age of 18 months can assimilate free amino acids, a baby formula containing hydrolyzed protein...

    Taurine Dramatically Improves Protein Utilization From Food

    The study was on babies, which I think makes it even more relevant given that babies cannot handle protein very well similarly to sick/aging people. Babies that were breast-fed ingested about 1g/kg protein daily had normal protein utilization. This could be due both to either the fact that they...

    Taurine Doubles Liver Glycogen

    The dose used was not that high and is a human equivalent of 2,500mg - 3,000mg daily. The other findings of note were that a single dose of taurine was enough to produce that effect, and also that taurine increased the consumption/oxidation of glucose. Taurine induced these effects through...

    Taurine: At High Doses, Could It Become Anxiogenic Instead Of Anxiolytic?

    Taurine (together with other things that are generally pro-GABA, anti-glutamate) has been mildly helpful to me in terms of nervous system agitation and insomnia. But I was reluctant to experiment with dosages higher than a gram or so until I discovered how far some of you are going with it...

    Do you guys think Taurine and Glycine use can cause GABA receptors downregulation?

    Hey fellas, I'm using Glycine, Taurine and Lysine at a dose of 3:2:2 grams x day each. More or less. Some days I change the ratios to see what happens. They indeed work. But I was wondering... Do you think they can down regulate GABA receptors ? Like, they create tolerance or withdrawal or...

    Tryptophan Is Toxic To Brain; Taurine Reverses Toxic Effects

    Ray has written on the negative effects of tryptophan, cysteine and methionine to the overall health and especially the nervous system of an organism. These studies show that tryptophan is toxic even in physiological levels (1mM) and the effect is especially pronounced in the brain. The negative...

    Taurine Enhances Bioavailability Of Vitamins K, A, D, E

    The fat soluble vitamins are a great tool to help metabolism and improve overall health. However their oral usage is sometimes hindered by their requirements for ingestion of fat. In the case of vitamin K2 (MK-4) the fat requirement can be large (35g+) and thus inconvenient to implement while on...
