Taurine update

I’m still running with the Taurine Magnesium/calcium regime & getting some pretty good results.
For the record: I got my first ever cycle back in Dec 1999 then had a 5 year break until Dec 2004 and went chronic from there.
When Red Bull/Taurine was first mentioned on this board I did as much research into it as I could find & decided to give it a go, that was back in April 2006.
I started with Taurine only 500mg X 3 time a day & got some varied results the best being getting my short term memory back but still got hit at least twice a week but the intensity was way below previous & never got over a KIP 5 or 6; Introduced the Magnesium into the regime about July 2006 when I realised that I needed something more in the mix and it gave me better results than previous then on October 2 2006 I got belted with a KIP 8 that came out of know where & hit me that fast I didn’t even have time to grab the RB or o2, it belted me for about 7 minutes & disappeared and that was the last for 244 days.
Below is how things have panned out since:
 
Day of last hit was 2/10/2006 with a PF break through to 20/6/2007 giving me 261 days of bliss.
Then on 20/6/2007 I started a high cycle again that only lasted for 50 days through to 9/8/2007, this is the shortest ever high cycle for me.
 
I’m currently sitting on 147 days PF & still only getting very mild shadows & periods of up to 4 days without a hint of anything.
 
After the high cycle of 50 days I was getting a lot of muscle & joint pain & on discussing this with my Doc we worked out that the Magnesium was blocking out my calcium intake & this was causing the muscle/joint problem, I changed from straight Magnesium to a Magnesium/calcium combination but kept the Taurine as was & within a week all the pain was gone & I was a happy little vegemite.
 
Is this my magic bullet? I don’t know but I’m not going to change anything.
 
Cheers
Barry

Thanks for sharing the good news. I wouldn't change anything, either. Inexpensive, safe, and it works for you.

Thanks for the update, Barry. It sounds like it's working pretty well for you.
 
I'm having mixed results with 2000 mgs a day (also with calcium/magnesium, thanks to your advice) I have something else going on concurrently, so the mixed results are more because of that I think. That's for another thread, though.  Smiley

Has anyone else had this kind of success with supplements?  I would love to know who else has tried it and what their results were.

Hi Laurie
I'm currently on 500mg/day of each but that is changable to suit your own needs.
Have a look at this thread & you'l see what I mean.
