I started taurine every other day about 2 weeks ago. So far I love the results, but based on what others have said here about what happens later i'm concerned I will eventually pay the piper. So curious to know others experiences.
I also didn't realize when i started just how much I was taking. I'm using powder meant for oral ingestion, but instead, i have it absorb thru my mucous membranes. Apparently though, if you do that, its like the equivelent of 10 times dose when you ingest it! (and indeed i verified that if you specifically buy taurine made for sublingual use, it's about 1/10th the dose or 75 mg) If that's really true, then i'm well above the safe limit. And i usually react so badly to even normal size doses of anything.
so each 1/4th teaspoon contains 675 mg, but since i'm not ingesting, i'm getting the equivleent of over 6 grams had I ingested it. Most say safe upper limit is 3 grams at least for long term use. and keep in mind i do not weigh very much and usually, even before had huge med intolerances, I would already have to take only 1/2 an adult dose. then it became a 10th..
Anyway wondering if i really blasted myself, why I feel good and not sick. (well,you know, relatively). its helping my gut as well and think i can tolerate more foods now. So I don't want to stop! I really need taurine- am deficient in it - but just don't know how to titrate to get what i should be getting.
it does seem to lower my blood pressure- sometimes alot- but then get huge rebound. But my new autodysfunction seems to encourage huge swings in bp, so that doesn't help any.
Also would be happy to talk about taurine deficieny if anyone wants to get into the biochem of it all. And if not, still would like to hear more experiences if there are more.
