A member asked:
I've been taking taurine powder in my protein shakes is this safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly however : Taurine is possibly safe for adults and children when taken by mouth in appropriate amounts. Taurine has been used safely in adults in studies lasting up to one year. It has been given safely to children for up to 4 months. People enrolled in research studies have not reported any side effects connected with the use of taurine. However, there is one report of brain damage in a body-builder who too.
