3 years I developed irregular heart rate due to autoimmune thyroditis (or maybe due to the Synthroid I have to take every day). My heartbeat was like Morse code, and had the tendency to stop for several seconds and start again, cca 20 hrs a day. I was told there was no medication for it. I found a german study online that treated older folks with taurine for the uneven beat and arginine to elimina...

I used Taurine for cluster headaches I had suffered with for 4+ months. I combined Taurine with Cal/Mag/Zinc which I have now been able to scale back on, and I feel the combination is what helped me get through the awful effects.

I have had hypertension for the past 20 years and very sensitive to blood pressure medications, the result being over the years there are fewer medications that I can tolerate, this is further aggravated by my allergy to all dies and food colorings. Taurine has reduced my blood pressure to well within the levels that my doctor finds acceptable, the only side effect being that I feel much better than I have in several years.

Am taking for afib, 6 grams daily with 1300 mg of magnesium and the results have been dramatic. Episodes are far less frequent and when they occur, much less severe.

I developed palpitations that were later defined as ectopics or PVCs. 1 gram of taurine a day almost eliminates them. I was later found to have low iron which may cause my palpitations, but even before starting iron supps the taurine cut them down and eased anxiety associated with them. I hope this helps someone.

I was given 1 year to live if I tried to treat myself. That was over 7 years ago.

taurine taken 2 capsules = 1000mg helps improve focus and alertness. It is a main ingrediant in energy drinks along with b12 and caffeine. I use NOW BRAND .

Had Arrythmia for year and a half brought on by hard triathlon training. Heard about taurine's use on the radio. Took just 5mg each day and within six weeks all the extra beats went away and now heart beat is back to normal. i ceased the taurine and heart rythm has stayed regular. Hope this helps someone.

Have suffered from atrial fibrillation, flutter, tachycardia, etc. For 20 years. Had multiple ablation attempts that failed. Supplementing with 1000mg eliminated 99 percent of my symptoms which were DAILY extended events. Also increased my msg, caffeine, and sugar tolerance, and muscle pain/cramps. Results started to show within four days and arrythmias stopped within two weeks. I am amazed. If I miss a dose for more than two days the arrythmia returns which confirms the link.
