Taurine is an amino acid like glutamine that is earning more and more respect from bodybuilders and protein scientists.

While taurine generally is the second most abundant amino acid in muscle, in several metabolic conditions, some muscle biologists like Eric Serrano, M.D., have determined that it, not glutamine, is the most voluminous amino represented in striated type 2 muscle fiber! Taurine has several critical functions and can act similarly to creatine in that it expands your cells by helping the muscle cell itself hold more water, increasing cell volume. For a lifter or bodybuilder, this is significant because expanded muscle cells can boost hydration resulting in a higher rate of protein synthesis and bodybuilders will appreciate the increased appearance of muscle fullness.

Additionally, another 'theory' is that taurine preferentially enhances interstitial contractile leverage and this may aid the lifter in handling heavier weights.

1 level tsp = ~2.2 grams

I always find myself recommending taurine to anyone when they have problems with cramps or back problems. Seems like its effects on the nervous system and regulating minerals is responsible for this. I wish there were more and better scientific studies on taurine because I'm pretty sure it does a lot of nifty things behind the scenes. I've heard wildly varying amounts to take but I usually take at least 2 grams up to about 8 grams depending on what other supplements I am that can burn up taurine while taking such as TTA.
