Jarrow Formulas® Taurine 1000 mg, Dietary Supplement, Amino Acid Supplement for Brain Health Support, 100 Capsules, 100 Day Supply

I take this whenever my blood pressure does not stay down in normal range even after taking my prescription med for it, it works within 30 to 45 minutes, my blood pressure always has returned back down to normal range limits. Therefore reducing symptoms of my chest pains and slows down my tachycardia some too, although it mainly is great for lowering blood pressure numbers. I put my parents and sister on this as well , because it works, and who wants to constantly run to the doctor every time it goes up, when there is something you can do for yourself at home that is safe in my own opinion, and is natural too, not a harmful side effect drug, from a nasty greedy noncaring pharmauceutical company. Be sure to discuss your own kind of health problems and fears or concerns with your own doctor though, especially if you are afraid of your symptoms you are having. I just don't want an increase in my prescription high blood pressure, or be given another drug of same class or kind on top of what I am already taking, side effects of mixing prescription meds are highly toxic and bad for us and must be watched carefully. One good side effect of taking 1,000mg. jarrow formula taurine, is you will be more alert and aware of things around you, it kind of perks you up. Everybody needs and wants to be more alert in life, right? Now beware however if you already have low blood pressure, don't take this, it may lower yours down too much, which can cause you to pass out or feel faint, or dizzy. You must first check your own blood pressure at home with blood pressure cuff to know if you need to be taking Taurine or not. If after you take your own blood pressure if shows or tells you that you are within normal limits, don't take Taurine. If yours is low, don't take Taurine. Only take Taurine if you need it, if your blood pressure measuring device cuff says that you are within high range, then it is safe to take one capsule of taurine to bring it back down to normal number once again. Ask you own doctor if it is okay to do this. Research this subject on your own as well, learn what to do and not to do. Homeopathic doctors, and some D.O. have a more opened mind on natural alternative supplements and treatments than regular MD's do. You do what is best for your own body, you may need to find a new doctor with a more open mind on natural methods in improving your health, because most doctors are not educated enough on this subject of herbs and supplements, etc....Some will even put you down for trying other things besides what they prescribe for you to take or do. If you trust your doctor, good, listen to him/her, if not, change, go somewhere else.

This product is now recommended in a new nutrition book called It's Not the Cans: The Best Nutrient Balance for a Stronger and Healthier YouIt's hard to go wrong with Taurine from any reputable manufacturer so if you choose another reputable brand you will still get what you need.THAT BEING SAID, this is the best I have ever taken! I seem to reap the same benefits with smaller doses of magnesium when taken with this product. My mind feels like all cylinders are firing and the timing is optimum. I feel like I've had a tune-up. My heart rate is averaging two fewer beats per minute. My mood is as positive as it has ever been.Although the other brands of Taurine never actually bother my stomach. This pharmaceutical grade Taurine feels like I didn't put anything in my stomach. For all I know that may simply be because of the capsule vs the tablet form. I'm going to stay with this product and encourage others to use this brand as well.Still, Taurine is pretty basic so you will still get enough absorption, I think, from any reputable brand. I would give other reputable brands four stars. This product is just going that extra mile for the highest quality which I think I notice in very minute ways so they get five stars from me.Taurine may be basic but it's multiple functions in our bodies make a huge difference. Taurine is by far the best cost/benefit supplement I have ever seen. Costs so little but returns enormous, measurable results in your sleep, muscles, heart function, and brain activity to name a few.BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!

I bought these taurine pills to hopefully get a nice pre-workout energy boost. I'm happy to report that it has worked quite well during the past week. I definitely get a burst of energy that carries me thru my workouts & enables me to push a little bit harder, whether it be cardio or strength training.I only take it early in the day though. Just like the gingko, holy basil & ginseng that i also take (to help me stay awake & focus on my studies) I find that these energizing herbs & supplements have a tendency to keep me up late if consumed later in the day, just like caffeine does.Edit 12/28/12....Doesn't have quite the same energizing effect as before, it seems my body started to get used to it & i may have to up the dosage now. Still taking a taurine pill but also have been using Beta-cret pre-workout the past week, it seems to be giving me sufficient energy for my workouts right now.2/12/13....I thought the energizing effects had worn off, so i went without it for a few days & felt very fatigued. Once I started taking it again it feels more effective like when i first started. What i gather from this is that I may have to take a break for a few days or a week every so often whenever it seems like my body has gotten used to it again. (although since my energy level goes down considerably during this little break, I won't do it when i have exams or any other big things to tackle)

Used for energy, much as the B Complex.

This seems to help with my bp. I still have to take my medicine but I have noticed a higher range when I don’t take it. It is a clean product without extra ingredients. I take it with magnesium Taurate for my heart but when I have leg cramps I take it with magnesium glycinate. Whichever one I need at the time, the taurine seems to help both.

Taurine is incredibly beneficial for many parts of the body. It’s very good for heart health, lowers blood pressure and protects the liver from damage and much more. Jarrow is a trusted brand and this taurine is great. Capsules aren’t too big and you get a good amount for a low price.
