Thanks mrsD - I agree that it is early days so will see if there are further improvements.

It will be interesting to see what effect taurine has on my blood pressure - some of your links suggest that it can lower it.

I have primary hypertension which is fairly well-managed by a calcium channel blocker. I check my BP regularly so will see if taurine lowers it more over the next few months.

If so, I will have a chat to my GP about lowering my drug dose. He is not stupid (I chose him with some care) and is receptive to evidence.
