Ha! That's hilarious. It's almost impossible to have an overload on food. I think it's just supplements! ??

Or did I read that wrong? Please say yes.

Anyway. The cursory reading I did on Taurine shortly before I wrote my reply seemed like it was commonly found in meat protein sources, and it's definitely found naturally in the human body. And that it's found in energy drinks I found particularly interesting.

But yeah, if your doctor is telling you to give it a try, then I don't see why you wouldn't, other than not wanting to take an Rx for something, which I completely understand.

My concern or fear is that someone here reads a hypothetical paper and it's taken as fact and acted on, and in the usually incorrect M.O. of "If some is good, more is better," someone would take far more than is recommended and they have some sort of adverse reaction, all in the hopes of fixing something where the problem so often lies between the ears, not between the lungs. That's where my problem was, anyway. And still flares up now and again.

You think you could change the thread name so people don't take this to heart then? maybe " Taurine helping with palpitations"?

Nah - I think that for people looking for information, seeing the discussion will be beneficial.

My doctor, who is a naturopath, says that Taurine is really good for anxiety and such, also, could very well help with the "skips" It is an amino acid and safe when used as directed. I am going to try it for my anxiety attacks.

Another good thing for "skips" and such is L-Arginine" another amino acid, I believe the two work together.
