A: Currently, there is no evidence taurine is bad. What is said is that there isn’t enough data with high dosage levels to know what the effects are, whether positive or negative. Taurine has been noted to have a positive effect on certain physiological functions, though these effects are simply correlary and are not fully understood.The taurine in energy drinks is no different than what’s found in supplements and foods. What does occur, however, is that taurine is more quickly absorbed from beverages than foods. In spite of manufacturer claims, there is also no evidence taurine increases energy levels.Taurine used for consumption is synthetically produced, not harvested from animals in any way.

Taurine is found in many energy drinks. Is it a stimulant like caffeine? What foods have taurine in them?

Q: does anyone know what is a good suggested daily amount of taurine? The web has much conflicting info on taurine, but if anyone knows answers to my questions, I appreciate it.

A: There is currently no suggested daily amount to be taken of Taurine by the FDA. The probable reason for this is because there is not enough research on this drug to prove of any known advantages to our health. But that is not to say that there are not ‘suggested advantages’. The main statement I have heard of the benefits of inducing Taurine, is that related to height issues. Many claim that a daily dose of Taurine ‘may’, may being the key word, help your body to grow much more than it would without the drug in your system. But there is no information to prove this statement true. I have a bottleof Taurine with me right now, and on there is no information on the bottle regarding benefits; all it says is ‘amino acid supplement’. So Taurine may have some sort of dealing with muscle growth. But this I do not know. I wish I could tell you more, but little is known about Taurine as it is.
