Good for you!

I suggest you start at 500mg a day for a week. Do you have
any gall bladder symptoms or suspected gall stones? If so taurine may not be for you. It will increase bile flow...as it complexes cholesterol in bile normally. People with obstructed bile duct issues, may not react well to this. It is this action I needed and I have had 4 gall bladder tests showing no stones or sludge but still I'd have attacks. When I started the taurine, those stopped.

If you do not have gall stones you can slowly raise to a ceiling of 3 grams a day. Studies only go up to that dose. But you may not need more than 1000mg a day (like me). I really like the taurine.
It helps with insulin resistance (new studies) and also nerve pain. (stabilizes cell membranes). If after 3 months you see no results of any kind, you can stop it if you choose.
