Taurine works as an antidote for MSG toxicity.

Eat too many Jack in the Box tacos and get a headache? Take some taurine.

The easiest way to get taurine fast is in an energy drink.
Red Bull (8.4-ounce can): 1,000 mg
Monster (16-ounce can): 2,000 mg
Rockstar (16-ounce can): 2,000 mg

“I take a gram of taurine three times a day”

What positive effect does it have for you? I see Taurine powder at Amazon for about $22 for 1lb
https://www.amazon.com/taurine-powder/s?k=taurine+powder

It will take you 151 days to consume a pound of taurine. At 3 grams per day. Divided doses, I assume?

Except those have huge amounts of caffeine.

Taurine is much safer, by itself.

“Except those have huge amounts of caffeine.”

All energy drinks I have seen use guarana as an ingredient for the caffeine boost. Guarana sounds cool and exotic and has been used in Brazil for eons. It is put into some of their soda pops too. Guarana is a tropical plant and it grows there.

Energy drink manufacturers also must (I will bet) put in some pure caffeine to lower expenses. This is cheap and can be bought at Amazon and eBay.

Problem is, they’re still mice.

For what Reason? Since I read it helps with BILE Production, that’s my reason. So glad to find this out, because that’s one of my problems. I started taking TUDCA at the suggestion of Dr. Berg.

I take it to boost lagging SOD. That is a big benefit to have.
