Take it...
If you do take it, here is what is recommended:
Amount: Although optimal amounts have not yet been determined, 3 separate 500-mg to one gram doses a day is typically reported by active individuals.
For therapeutic uses, amounts range from 1,000 mg to 5,000 mg a day, divided. When supplementing for any therapeutic reason, it is wise to do so with the advise of a physician.
Timing: Taurine may be most effective when taken without food, especially without protein or other amino acids. It may be more beneficial when one dose is consumed immediately following exercise. It works best when combined with glutamine, but has absorption problems when combined with other aminos.
