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 = ~3.5 grams

By: TimReview posted on: Thu Mar 13 14:24:02 -0400 2008 Inexpensive, easy to measure, and mixes very well with anything you want to put it with! I love this stuff for post-w/o and to just dose when you've got a bad set of cramps/pumps. Works like a charm. A Steal By: paulReview posted on: Sun Jan 20 02:39:40 -0500 2008 This is a product I will order frequently. Notice great energy boost and cell volumizing when used pre-workout. Mixes easily with any liquid and does not have a bad taste. About 2 grams with your pre workout drink and you will be hooked. A+ STUFF CHEAPEST EVER... By: MattReview posted on: Tue Nov 13 16:54:55 -0500 2007 This stuff is great. It helps avoid back pumps, not a bad idea to have around for a cycle. Just take like 5 grams before your workout on lift days. And at less then $3 it's definitely worth it. Don't even look at buying taurine caps, you'd have to consume way too many to get the same dose, and the cost is just way too much. Taurine review By: danielReview posted on: Tue Nov 13 16:54:48 -0500 2007 What can I say, for the price and all the things taurine does it belongs right up there with water, protein, and creatine. Get it and use it everyday. |
