We should, which is why I think many don't think of it. It's one of the most abundant aminos in our system. Shrimp is high in taurine too. I remember someone here eating a shrimp diet and having pretty good results.Ella said:post 106517milk said:post 106513 I've been taking taurine at varying doses for a few months now. I was taking around 2g throughout the day, eventually lowering the dose to 1g and then stopping for a while.
It seems that whenever I'm taking 2g or more a day my shedding stops completely. But when I stopped taking it or took a lower dose, the shedding returned.
It should be easy to get the required amount of taurine from foods. Peat is right on the ball regarding dairy being the preferred protein.

Haidut had an intense conversation with goldbluv in a bicarbonate thread that made me consider that the pancreas is being under represented in it's importance for digestion and breaking down proteins. If the pancreas and it's digestive enzymes are impaired then many could be having problems getting all the required aminos and nutrients from diet alone. http://www.vivo.colostate.edu/hbooks/pa ... crine.html
I try to take mine with food for a better AA balance and also because it can block excess methionine uptake as I posted in a studyLin said:post 106522 When you take taurine, are you taking it on an empty stomach, away from other amino acids or foods. Or do you just dump the powder into a smoothie, or sprinkle on ice cream?
