Caveats and Side Effects of Taurine Supplements

What are the downsides of taurine supplementation? I don’t know if that helped at all. Not all rodent studies are positive including adverse cognitive effects with lifelong supplementation and an acceleration of lung tumor growth. So those with lung cancer might not want to be popping taurine, nor those with kidney failure, bleeding disorders, psoriasis, if you’re pregnant or lactating, and ask your doctor or pharmacist about interactions with critical drugs like anti-seizure medications. OK but what if you don’t have any of that? The human dose equivalents used in that anti-aging study were 3 to 6 grams a day, but the safe upper limit is considered 3 grams. But that’s just based on a 4 month study so we don’t even know if that amount is safe long term. Remember, the arginine took 6 months before it apparently killed enough people to stop the trial. Taurine supplementation might decrease the absorption of one potentially harmful amino acid methionine, but boost the production of another potentially harmful amino acid cystine. We are really not getting much a clear picture here. Before I get to the microbiome angle, if, based on what we’ve covered so far, you do want to start supplementing your diet with taurine, what might be the best source, dose, and frequency? We’ll start with dose next. This is the fourth video in a seven-part series on taurine. If you missed the previous ones, check out: • What Is Taurine in Energy Drinks?
