Daily dose of taurine?

 

[John]

2-4 per day?

 

[John]

I have taurine in my Aninal Pak,500mg daily

 

[Neuro]

I take 4g daily.

 

[John]

I think i just wanna buy the other one astra

 

[John]

Well according to your dose,mine isto small,maybe i do need more taur

 

[John]

@Poppy @Neuro Bulk Supplements has the Astragalus in powder/capsule form,i think im gonna roll with theirs maybe…

 

[Neuro]

Bulk supps is a good brand. I’ve had great experience with their products.

 

[Neuro]

500 is probably fine for the average Joe. Training. Working. Sweating. Gear. Etc. it will deplete taurine quicker. Even if you only added in 2grams It would help.

 

[Dirtnasty]

Maybe that explains my liver being so good

 

[Dirtnasty]

Also vouchers for them and nuticost

 

[Neuro]

I love me some nutricost too.

 

[Neuro]

It certainly helps!

Creatinine can be thrown off by muscle mass. I would see if your doctor would order you a Cystatin C test. It’s a better indicator of actual kidney health and helps calculate a more accurate EGFR.

 

[Neuro]

I agree! I’ll never understand why we never use this value in the ICU.

Ok… my victory lap is over. I consumed over 200 grams of carbs yesterday. I quit counting after supper… the 3 tarts put me way over my usual count.

Back to the grind. My good labs have motivated me.

@rdm I did manage to get a full 2 liters of water in prior to blood draw that morning at 7am. I woke at 4 am on accident… kinda mad because no food!!! BUT I did as you suggested and sucked down water. Thank you for your support.

Big takeaway for me… more water… zero oral peds (I got a buddy locally that’s getting ready to get a heck of a deal on my tbol stash). Starting astragalus as soon as the delivery gets here.

Most importantly…don’t be hard headed… listen to suggestions from others.

 

[rdm]

Always happy to help!
