as I saw the title of this video, I jumped from my computer to the supplements shelf, cuz i forgot to take my taurine this morning. subtle reminder, Nick, subtle :) cheers!
I have genetically a predisposition for high bp - dispite normal weight etc. Runs in my family. Since more then 2y I have my lifestyle quite dialed in 2xgym, once in a while HIIT. Basic Supps stack: Vit D, Omega3 ...but also 3gr of taurine. It rellay works great - before i was only diong sports healthy lifestyle, normal weight etc but my BP was still too high. With taurine im in the normal range. Its a great Supplement - thx for covering it.
I used to have issues with taurine, low energy, weakness POTS etc.. Especially with caffeine. But since supplementing Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Boron, Manganese, Molybdenum , B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, Biotin, I don't have an issue with it anymore. I can't say which made the difference tho.
I started taking Taurine several years ago when I read it was good for the heart and eyes. The unexpected benefit was that it reduced anxiety. Found that really helpful as I was learning a new job. I continue to take it.

I started Taurine supplementation recently. I make a gallon of iced green and black tea mixed and sweetened with stevia and allulose and add Taurine, Betanine and Glycine. It’s my super tea.
Be careful with black tea. Old Neighbor discovered her trembling hands (so much she could not write anything) was due to the amount of tea she was drinking, which she figured was at least a gallon a day. Researching showed the culprit was probably manganese. The World Health Org states that 5 cups a week is safe. There is always the possibility, I suppose, that she was washing out her electrolytes or some other factor was in play, but her shake diminished considerably when she knocked off her tea habit.
@@elizabethfletcher1487@ Very interesting (as I get those ‘cannot write trembles’ from time to time). Does green tea have the same effect? What about coffee?
This is very interesting! I have been supplementing with 2g of taurine daily now for about 6 months. Recently, I had a comprehensive blood mineral profile done via ICP-MS, which gives me very accurate full blood and red blood cell levels for a range of elements. All markers were good, except for calcium, which was too low. Gonna follow up with a DEXA scan to make sure my bones are getting enough of it. Good thing I saw this video. It might eventually help me out a lot 😅
Started taking 500 mg per day about 12 years ago due research suggesting it increases endothelial progenitor cells. Same with Mg if memory serves. My level is at about a 40 year old per graph shown but I am 70.
What kind of test can you ask for to measure it? I'm 57 and very fit for my age. I started taking Taurine about 9 months ago, so would like to see where I am with Taurine vs typical age.
Took taurine for months before bed w/o any side effects whatsoever. Decided to start taking it in the morning along creatine, collagen, etc., for I used to forget sometimes when going to bed. In about two weeks start to have fainting feelings, arrythmias and the like. Have no idea what's going on. In one month it gets worse, start being unable to drive a car for the fear of blacking out, make a doctor's appointment and stop lifting weights for the first time in my life. When at the doctor's office remember that the only thing I changed was taurine - from night to morning. Turns out it was the combination of taurine+coffee. REALLY watch out for that, everybody. I mean... REALLY. P.S.: All my blood markers are not only within the medical standard levels, but in what's considered optimal. 15% body fat, lifting weights for more than 20 years, don't take any drugs, drink, or have any allergies.
Interesting - taurine and coffee (and caffeine alone) have been studied extensively with no major issues. I don't doubt your experience, but I imagine this is a pretty rare effect. Still, take care of yourself!
I think that caffeine doesn’t affect BP but perhaps you have normal to low BP and then taking Taurine is causing your BP to drop and cause your dizziness? And perhaps your blood sugar levels are adding to the effect after eating? What is your blood pressure like normally?
Decided to use one of your videos to get myBP down. Found this one. Just listening to your calm demeanor and attention to detail, with illustrations, was good for a 7 point systolic drop. Thank you. I was taking taurine daily (I am old), and forgot for at least the last two weeks. I wonder if that is why my BP is up? We shall see.
I've been drinking sugar-free energy drinks with Taurine every day for 20 years. My blood pressure is perfect at 60 yearsold, and high blood pressure runs in my family. Anecdotal, but I thought it was worth mentioning.
@ilkyway5854 Mostly Monster Zero Carb until they came out with Monster Zero Sugar, which tasts better. Energy drinks are not bad for you if they don't have sugar. There's a double standard as they get a bad wrap, and coffee never gets criticism, but it's the combo of sugar and caffeine that is bad in both coffee and energy drinks but take out the Sugar, Energy drinks have some good supplements like Taurine, Niacin and L-Carnitine in them. You can take Taurine supplements too if you don't want to spend money on energy drinks, which are expensive. Taurine may increase longevity, too. Taurine is mainly recommended for older people because the amount in the body really starts to drop as you age.
Very interesting mechanism. As I am low on ca2 and got some trouble with vasopressin, I should go a little bit deeper into the study. Thank you very much.
According to Dr Brad Stanfield, 1575mg of mag taurate yields 126mg elemental magnesium. The rest is taurine. I haven’t done the calculation. I just take his word for it. I guess you have to be careful reading the labels on Mag taurate. I try to find the ones that specifically state the amount of elemental magnesium.
i already conducted this experiment and i must say that like cialis it works little bit, i already have good numbers, 120/115 to 80/75 so for me being constantly toward 110-70/65 was little to low and i decided to stop it for the moment.
I've been taking 3 grams of taruine per day for the last year. I'm 70yo and my blood pressure is exactly the same as before I started taking it. However my LDL has been lowered by more than 1/3.
I can't remember which youtube Doctor was making the recommendation of taking one gram per decade of life but I've been taking 6 grams for the past two months since I'm approaching 60. My blood pressure is down from it's highs but still too high.
Thanks for listing the full citations in the video description! It would be great if the link could be clickable, because when using the ios app, text cannot be copied. 😊
No - we're discussing intracellular calcium, and the calcium related the atherosclerosis is extracellular, integrated calcium. Same ion, different function.
This is an interesting connection between the long-term effect of taurine on the Ca balance. I had asked several internists and heart specialists whether a patient with PXE (Pseudoxanthoma elasticum, a hereditary disorder in which calcium is stored in the connective tissue, for example) could benefit from supplementation with taurine. To be fair, it must be mentioned that after further enquiries, supplementation with vitamin K2 was recommended. However, none of the specialists dared to recommend taurine, even though the patient's coronary arteries are checked regularly. The risk of the disease does not lie precisely in the storage of Ca in the bones, so it should be possible to detect a gradual slowdown or acceleration - in the akkumulation of the circulatory system.
If blood pressure is a compensatory phenomenon (low oxygen perfusion in certain tissues by low degree cronic inflamation(metabolic disorders), or in people who lives at high altitude, or in athletes who demand their organs, etc.), why should such behavior be attenuated? When hypertension is mentioned as an idiopathic phenomenon (the origin is unknown), I think it´s wrong to attack the response instead of looking for its origin. In other words, high blood pressure is compensating for a "respiratory failure," and the way to attack this problem is by reducing it? It sounds strange. Si la presión arterial es un fenómeno compensatorio (baja perfusión oxígeno en ciertos tejidos por inflamación crónica de bajo grado, o en personas que viven en altura, o en deportistas que exigen sus órganos, etc), por qué habría que atenuar dicho comportamiento? Cuando se menciona la hipertensión como un fenómeno idiopático (se desconoce el origen), no es erróneo atacar la respuesta en lugar de buscar su origen? Es decir, la hipertensión arterial está compensando una "falencia respiratoria", y la forma de atacar dicho problema es disminuyéndola? Suena extraño.
Apologies for going off-topic, but I remember you mentioned that you read comments within the first few days of publishing a video, so here I am, seizing the opportunity! I was wondering if there are any comprehensive studies on salt consumption and its overall impact on the body. I have had trouble finding relevant research to better understand the subject. To provide some context, I am a massive salt eater: I can’t and won’t give up on it. I can adjust my diet in many ways, but I can’t reduce my salt intake. I exercise regularly and stay well-hydrated, but salt is a non-negotiable part of my diet. I often joke that my ancestors must have been those mountain goats that climb to lick salt. I am 38 years old, and my blood pressure is consistently within the perfect range. However, every time I am out or see family, I have to justify my salt consumption and calm their panicked reactions. Could you point me towards any studies or resources that explore the long-term effects of high salt intake, especially in individuals who do not have high blood pressure or other related health issues: maybe an idea for a new video? 😬
I find topics like these fascinating, and I am currently thinking about going to Uni for it. Which broader subject is this? Is this medicine or biology? What did you study?
This got me wondering. I'm already on a beta blocker and a calcium channel blocker. So, would taurine supplementation assist all that, or would the calcium channel blocker negate the effect of the taurine? Thx.
Hey Nick. I noticed you don't have a video focusing on carnitine supplements. There are a few different forms of carnitine to take and the evidence is quite mixed for pretty much all of them. It would be fairly interesting to see such a video from you.
How many mg are needed to see results? I love your videos man and all the breaking down of the data but the problem I have commonly with your videos is I never can find where you mention the dosage or the therapeutic suggested dose
Could the epinephrine lowering effect of taurine also be accomplished another way by increasing vagal tone and activation of the parasympathetic nervous system? Or are they combined, meaning increased vagal tone coincides with increased taurine which leads to decreased epinephrine?
I found taurine lowered my BP, however as of today I’ve stopped taking it because of alarming research into taurine and markedly increased risk of colon cancer (including very recent research). Can you comment on this please?
All my numbers are in the mid of normal range, except calcium, that is in the very top of normal range! From the mechanism he describes related to calcium, could a high level lead to elevated BP? And maybe some degree of ED too?
A fair number of us are getting taurine along with our caffeine. :D Looking at the Rockstar label right in front of me...carbonated water, citric acid, taurine,...
The taurine molecule is relatively large wrt the magnesium ion, it's mostly taurine. Brad Stanfield prefers this magnesium supplement because of the taurine.
Thanks so much for great videos. As you mentioned, you are having deep expertise in mitochondria related topics. Would you be able to cover L-carnitine effects on the body and scientific evidences of using it intravenously/ powder. As well the mechanism of TMAO But generally the l carnitine role in the organism :)
Ha - thanks Mortem. Well, I hope to cover L-carnitine more in the future; usually, this kind of work takes me weeks of planning and research, so it's a slow turn around. I do plan on covering a lot on mitochondria in February, however.
So short term taurine consumption dose not have a positive affect as it increases calcium in the cell. but long term taurine usage pumps out calcium. As calcium is lower in the long term…… But this is mechanistic only….hmmm
You said the endothelium cells are on the innermost portion of your blood vessels, is the glycocalyx considered the same as the endothelium? And if not aren't they more inner than the endothelium?
I believe amino acids are in competition with each other for absorption. How can we be sure that taking taurine won't decrease the absorption of other amino acids?
I would love to see a vid about best supplements for stamina and endurance. anything to break my old 5k pb😂. And what supplements might improve vo2 max
I recently read taurine can impart 5-Alpha Recuctase in a positive manner. There was also a video on UA-cam by a good looking female doctor discussing this relationship.
on my days off I get tingling around my hands while gaming and doing nothing else. On my work days, I drink a monster ultra zero each morning on my way to work. I get no tingling feeling.
I'm doing my own "pwo" now. Mostly because i don't want the caffeine and can't stand all the sweetners that's in them. I'm mixing creatine, taurine, arginine, citrulline and leucine. It's really effective, seems like i can just go on with the reps forever.
I take 1/4 of a teaspoon every morning, can't really say it helps cos I take so many other proven supplements but @ 59, I'm still working as a top tradie ✌️
It would be useful not to just talk about the effects, but the source of the Taurine in a diet, and how a Vegetarian or Vegan may have these symptoms, due to a lack of Taurine and require supplementation
PhD using an increasingly archaic use of the word "datum". That checks! :) 4:42 "Let me show you a piece of datum." I'm not even sure this is correct usage since data here is used as an amount and not a quantity. It's a bit like saying "let me show you a piece of water." These days, people just say "some data" or a "data point". (Not only that, but the graphic shown afterward is "data" anyway since it is showing multiple points of data.) This not an important criticism, but just a quick response to something that sounds funny in modern vernacular.
There are two other major benifits to taking taurine... It's significantly reduced intergenerational angry issues, and irritability... At 4gs a day. And can stop afib events too.. but go and ask you local heart surgeon or shrink.. and low n behold they have no idea about taurine .. but they will sell you there really expensive procedures that don't really help.
Depending on how much meat the person in question eats and which animal and cut and their health that could be very bad advice. There are actually plant sources of taurine. Seaweed is one. I know culinary mushrooms are technically not plants but I've heard they have relatively high taurine content compared to most plants. So if your goal is to increase taurine intake; there are other ways.
I started taking 1/2 tsp of taurine for its anti-aging benefits and within 3 hours of my first dose the neuropathy in the toes and heel of my left foot completely went away and basically, has not returned except for VERY SLIGHT and VERY RARE moments. it is essentially gone.

How much do you take?
@@FasterThanTheSpeedOfScience mines a powder, roughly 3 grams.
Technical detail is good.
I'm sure glad, because I can't escape it :)
I started taking taurine regularly and my anxiety and tinnitus reduced
Huh, fascinating. I would not have expected that, but I haven't looked into that research.
I started taking Taurine several years ago when I read it was good for the heart and eyes. The unexpected benefit was that it reduced anxiety. Found that really helpful as I was learning a new job. I continue to take it.

I believe amino acids are in competition with each other for absorption. How can we be sure that taking taurine won't decrease the absorption of other amino acids?
Take it on an empty stomach?
I would love to see a vid about best supplements for stamina and endurance. anything to break my old 5k pb😂. And what supplements might improve vo2 max
Anecdotal experience but Ubiquinol improved my VO2 Max.
interesting
Taurine can increase testosterone, correct? Does that mean taurine then can lead to potential hair loss?
I recently read taurine can impart 5-Alpha Recuctase in a positive manner.
There was also a video on UA-cam by a good looking female doctor discussing this relationship.
Yes Taurin lowers my blood pressure, but makes my cholesterol skyrocket.

I've been taking 400mg of taurine every night before bed - helps me sleep.
I take 3 gram taurine daily for over a half year now, I did not see any reduction in my high blood pressure so far. 🤔
Fav supplement for all around health. Just thinking about it makes me tingly and seeing the title of this video had me shaking 😤😤😤
I always feel sick when I supplement with taurine
No wonder I measured even lower blood pressure in my annual check when I was low at the beginning...
Mg is the original calcium channel blocker, no?
on my days off I get tingling around my hands while gaming and doing nothing else.
On my work days, I drink a monster ultra zero each morning on my way to work. I get no tingling feeling.
I'm doing my own "pwo" now. Mostly because i don't want the caffeine and can't stand all the sweetners that's in them. I'm mixing creatine, taurine, arginine, citrulline and leucine. It's really effective, seems like i can just go on with the reps forever.
I take 1/4 of a teaspoon every morning, can't really say it helps cos I take so many other proven supplements but @ 59, I'm still working as a top tradie ✌️
PLEASE address the relationship between Taurine and TUG1. TUG1 , upregulated by taurine has a myriad of very negative health outcomes.
Save the taurine supplements
for.your cat.
It would be useful not to just talk about the effects, but the source of the Taurine in a diet, and how a Vegetarian or Vegan may have these symptoms, due to a lack of Taurine and require supplementation
If only there was a drug to adjust the crazy 120/80 blood pressure standard for athletes or older people.
PhD using an increasingly archaic use of the word "datum". That checks! :) 4:42 "Let me show you a piece of datum." I'm not even sure this is correct usage since data here is used as an amount and not a quantity. It's a bit like saying "let me show you a piece of water." These days, people just say "some data" or a "data point". (Not only that, but the graphic shown afterward is "data" anyway since it is showing multiple points of data.) This not an important criticism, but just a quick response to something that sounds funny in modern vernacular.
I’m not even sure how to use it either 🤣
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🔥
Wow that was complex you lost me after the word Taurine.
Haha, sorry to hear that - thanks for trying though, I appreciate it
brb gonna down 4 redbulls
There are two other major benifits to taking taurine... It's significantly reduced intergenerational angry issues, and irritability... At 4gs a day. And can stop afib events too.. but go and ask you local heart surgeon or shrink.. and low n behold they have no idea about taurine .. but they will sell you there really expensive procedures that don't really help.
Eat mussels!
Isn’t Taurine Bull pee or a biproduct of it? 😂
Tl;dr: Eat more meat.
Not the take-away here
Or just take taurine.
Depending on how much meat the person in question eats and which animal and cut and their health that could be very bad advice. There are actually plant sources of taurine. Seaweed is one. I know culinary mushrooms are technically not plants but I've heard they have relatively high taurine content compared to most plants. So if your goal is to increase taurine intake; there are other ways.
Some plant sources dont transfer over the same as meat sources, bioavalability @@42Porter
@@42Porter or, just take taurine
I started taking 1/2 tsp of taurine for its anti-aging benefits and within 3 hours of my first dose the neuropathy in the toes and heel of my left foot completely went away and basically, has not returned except for VERY SLIGHT and VERY RARE moments. it is essentially gone.
