Hi -
yeah I would try the taurate form but I live in Chile and the cheapest sites I order from in the US don't stock it. It seems quite spendy. Also too much taurine has bad effects on me - indeed too much of ANY amino seems to have really unbalancing effects, and to take enough magnesium that would mean a whole lot of taurine.
I know George goes on about how he took loads and loads of taurine and magnesium and no calcium etc etc but this would be TERRIBLE for me. I already had problems taking magnesium without calcium (ending up with heart rhythm problems), and too much taurine gives me insomnia.
If I take magnesium without balancing with Ca I get very very nervous, hot and sweaty and my hands start shaking. My heart starts doing this baboomdiboom thing as well. I have NO idea why that is, but it is. Maybe I am not like everyone else and actually need calcium with the mg? I haven't noticed increased depression with the calcium, but then I am taking the Mg with it, so maybe that is why.
Hmmm. Raaaaamble.
