A member asked:

I have pvcs. should i consider taurine supplements beneficial or a dangerous stimulant that i should avoid?

Dr. Sergio Schabelman answered

Specializes in Cardiology

Avoid: Pvcs (if that is what they are) are more of a nuisance than dangerous in a healthy heart. Taurine and other supplements are not evaluated by fda and therefore little is known of effects, side effects and interaction with other medications.
