I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on supplementing Taurine.

In a few weeks time I begin my bulk.

Supps I'm currently using:
MP Impact Blend (soon to be MP True Whey)
Phd Pharma Blend 6HR
Phd V-max Pump
EAA's
Leucine
Fish Oils


When I last did an order from MP I banged in a kilo of Creatine Mono-hydrate as having heard and read arguments about it all over the net I decided I wanted to make my own mind up about it.

The EAA's will run out of the next few weeks. Leucine I'm currently pulsing around 2.5 grams 3 times a day and have quite alot left a good 2-3 months worth.

Just browsing MP I've seen Taurine is reasonably cheap and as with most things I'm willing to give them a go once as curiosity gets the better of me.

So what are your thoughts on it? when to use it? how much? and what do you think about adding it to my stack?

Input appreciated,

Benny

I like taurine, very good supplement and a 5g per day, before bed you'll get good sleep and some growth as well as it's a good anti catabolic when used that way.

Kool, thanks for the input.

That's how you'd recommend it then. 5grams before bed. None pre/post workout? It's dead cheap!

Iused to go pre workout, but prefer it before bed for the reasons stated

Thanks,

Does it have any other effects or benefits if used pre/post workout?

After reading how it works It seems logical to take just before the body begins repair/recupperation.

I'm a bit curious as to if Taurine needs to be cycled? similar to creatine? or if it's not necesary but is however a good idea?

Also out of pure curiosity is there a maximum amount you shouldn't go over per day? Don't worry I don't plan on really using much more than 6/7 grams a day split pre w/o & before bed.

No amino acid 'needs' to be cycled although cycling some can give beneficial responses when supplementation restarts.

Taurine can be mega dosed. I know someone who thinks nothing of having a couple of teaspoons at night.

When boozing I usually take 5g before going out, 10-15g when I get home and same again when I wake. So easily 25g in a day

Kool thanks!

Somebody on another forum had said as it doesn't effect any glands that it shouldn't need cycling.

Just figured it'd be good every 4-5 weeks to come off for 1 or 2 to let levels return to normal.
