Taurine Articles

[looneymom]

I have been reserching Taurine and I am amazed at what Taurine does. Taurine helps build GABA and lower Glutamate. It helps regulate electroytes and many other things. I have been using a small dosage with Tyler and wonder if this may be helping. I am not seeing any side effects and Tyler's blood pressures are good. Tyler is down to one gram of salt tablets per day. Here are the articles. Happy reading.

Thank you for this!

The International Taurine Conference... I had to laugh... it sounds like such a specific topic to have a conference about, but it's amazing to see how many studies have been done in this field.

I took taurine last summer and it helped tremendously with heart palpitations. I was taking it as part of a relaxation mixture that contained some other amino acids, and the mixture caused some unwanted mood side effects. I am considering trying just plain taurine again.

I really hope that it is part of the answer for Tyler.

So do I. It has been a very long haul for Tyler. I am getting ready to try a product called True Calm with Tyler at night. It has the GABA and Taurine combination in it. It's a low dosage of both and has a few other things to help with absorption.

I'm very interested in this. I have loads of trouble keeping my bp up since having surgery last July. Esp systolic pressure won't come up, I'm stuck in between 90's and 110 at the very highest. I have a very hard time exercizing and think the low systolic may cause that. I will talk this over with my doctor, thanks for sharing all your articles Rachel and glad to hear Tyler's bp is up!!!
