In reply to Magnesium + Taurine questions..., posted by tecknohed on October 30, 2007, at 12:06:45
I saw an awesome article on the web yesterday on magnesium and taurine, focusing on the magnesium taurate form of magnesium chelate. The potential benefits in all aspects of your physical and mental health are huge. As can be evidenced in searching archives though, these supplements don't always provide the miracles we hope for. But, if you were to pick any two supplements at random that had a massive potential to improve your life, you picked two at the top of the list.
Magnesium is tricky. Some people only respond well to one form or another, and it is different for everyone. One lady tried them all with no luck, only to discover it was magnesium malate that worked great for her. For another it was mg glycinate. For another it was mg taurate. Some people can't tolerate much oral magnesium but find great benefits in taking epsom salt baths a few times a week where the magnesium absorbs readily through the skin.
Taurine is an unsung hero in the amino acids. We don't hear much about it, but it actually is real good for lots of things such as brain, heart, liver, gut, and digestion. There isn't enough in food we eat and many of us just don't make enough of it on our own.
As with all things, our biochemistries are different and everything requires trial and error.
