> I just started experimenting with taking it 20-30 minutes before a meal. In fact, I'm going to start taking all my meds/supplements half hour before each meal to prevent competition of the absorption of other nutrients.

> Oh, and how long does it take to obtain the full therapeutic benefit from Taurine? Does it have to build up or something?Just ran across this, from Dr. Walsh of the Pfeiffer Clinic, http://www.alternativementalhealth.com/articles/walshQZ.htm#Ta
"Yes, I've read a few articles and a book that talked about Taurine's slow metabolism and tendency to build up over time. Because of this, I've believed that high doses of Taurine (1,000 to 2,000 mg/day) are ok in the beginning..... but that the dosages need to be reduced within 2 weeks to about 400 to 500 mg/day..... to achieve the same effect.
I believe that Taurine is especially effective for (1) combating seizure tendency and (2) reducing liver stress in processing fats. There have been several reports of intolerances and side effects from use of Taurine, and I feel that indiscriminant high doses are unwise."
