I stand corrected- Taurine given in certain amounts is actually beneficial -
One example is that taurine is used for energy production. Taurine also helps the body process bile acid and balance fluids, salts and minerals, among other actions. While taurine in energy drinks may not cause a problem, the other ingredients in these beverages could.
The most common dosage of taurine as a dietary supplement is between 500 and 2,000 mg per day. However, the maximum toxicity limit is much higher and doses over 2,000 mg seem to be tolerated well. Studies with dietary supplements used 400 to 6,000 mg per day. However, additional studies are needed to confirm this.
Clinical studies use 1500-3000 mg per day, and that amount is generally deemed to be a safe long-term dose.
Taurine has anti-inflammatory effects, blood pressure regulation, and at high levels, may protect against coronary heart disease (CAD) [4].
Although, Taurine has been shown to play a role in four different forms of kidney disease: glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, chronic renal failure, and acute kidney injury (AKI).
