Re: Need a chemist: question about Taurine

My first instinct is that there is some kind of good synergy between the caffeine and taurine for you. I doubt the B's and ultra low dose inositol are doing anything meaningful. I've heard several people say that the supplemental caffeine found in refined drinks or in capsules feels different than caffeine in coffee or tea or soda. Maybe it's not the caffeine, and not the taurine, but instead the combination that is special?

I have no idea, but another thought is that maybe the taurine in the drink is different than the free form taurine of the capsule. Taurine might be attached to another molecule in the drink that is somehow making its delivery smooth and effective, where the taurine by itself isn't? Dunno, just thinking.

Caffeine+taurine sounds most likely to me.
