When Should I take TAURINE?

**DaHooligan** · 11-01-2007, 12:14 AM

I am interested in adding taurine pills to my regimen.

it says on the bottle take it 2 times daily.

should I take 1 500 mg pill in the morning or after working out? and then the other one later in the afternoon.

**PrisonerDilemma** · 11-01-2007, 12:20 AM

Morning and pre-workout

I tried taurine ages ago.

Did 1.5g pre workout and 1.5g post workout.

Did **** for me, went through 80g of it. Came in crystals and had horrible mixability.

You can try it, but don't expect much.

3-4 grams is good, mixes well if you get good quality stuff

**ShaneBe** · 11-01-2007, 08:29 AM

I've been taking 5g daily and it hasn't helped with cramps, or anything else.

**Bloute** · 11-01-2007, 09:54 AM

I used in the morning and PWO.

Very good cheap supplement IMO

**naturalguy** · 11-01-2007, 10:02 AM

Post workout is a good time for it

Should I just return it and buy the 1000 mg 50 pills ? I havent open it yet.

what is the use taking such a high dosage?

couldnt I just take the reccomended 2 a day and still get benefits for the long run like helping hair follicles?

Yeah you could, but 1-2g is a pretty standard dose for bodybuilding use. Lower dose still has good effects though.

thanks man.

I think I will just get the 1000 mg cause there is a buy 1 get 1 free sale.

and then I will keep my 2 500 mg for later when I run out for maintenence just for the benefits long term use.

Will this be bad to take if I am taking B complex vitamin?

IMO, taurine's indispensible if you're on superdrol (not ng) or any other prosteroid that cramps you up. I take 5 grams per day and it has made a big difference in lower back and calf cramping for me. FWIW.

**Mako88** · 11-01-2007, 01:52 PM

Never did anything for me. Principally used by those who use Clenbuterol as a stim as it depletes taurine quickly, which can lead to ferrocious, wake-up-screaming-in-the-middle-of-the-night cramps.

A must for sure with SD epi/havoc dont have it on hand your in for some pain.

**DaHooligan** · 11-02-2007, 01:43 PM

I am just gonna use it for the benefits not expecting some miracle I heard it takes 6 months for many supps to show the benefits.

**nuyorican00** · 11-02-2007, 01:50 PM

pre and post workout

**DaHooligan** · 11-02-2007, 07:36 PM

thanks

but I get confused how come they say to take it 3 hours apart? why is that?

is it ok to just take one in the morning with break fast and then the other with your PWO workout shake?

**smt5141** · 11-02-2007, 07:40 PM

morning and pre workout

If your taking this for back pumps it almost seems like a miracle supplement. Works very well for this.

**QnsKid** · 11-03-2007, 01:16 PM

I used to take 2 500mg pills every morning. Never got the back pumps while on my SD cycle. Glad I had it on hand.

SD = superdrol

For me at least, I get a very hard muscle pump in my lower back. It is only on the right side and is below the belt line. It is very centralized to one spot, but can be very painful.

**scorp508** · 11-03-2007, 04:00 PM

ahh I have never had a sore back before to the point where its painful to lay flat...you must really hit the back hard during training its hard for me to get the back sore.

I dont do Crunches because if I do my lower back gets cramped and painful

would taurine help with that?

don't confuse what i'm calling back cramps/pumps with a sore back from training(DOMS) W/o taurine i would get both. With it I only get it from training.

A lot of people get these back cramps/pumps from prohormones but i sometimes get them anyways, and like i said the part the cramps is very low on my back, on the right side only, kind of parallel to my tailbone.

As for your question, if this is not the pain your talking about, i doubt taurine would help with this.
