Taurine for back pumps

[ryno9000]

Just curious how this works. Does Taurine somehow buffer the lactic threshhold, or reduce blood flow? And if so, does it negatively affect pumps in general?

if i remember correctly it helps to regulate the excretion of bile from the liver and I actually think it increases blood flow to the area thus reducing the cramp/pump. it shouldn't affect pumps by my experience

nope does not effect being able to get pumps just stops those nasty all days pumps from happening.

And does a damn good job of it too. Helped with headaches I got on cycle too.

What are you guys dosing to get the back pumps down?

 

[chaos13]

5grams for each.....am, during workout and before bed

I usually only need about 8-10g a day but it is different for people. Make sure to drink plenty of water too.

Cramps are hard to avoid while on certain drugs like Anadrol, M1T, or Clenbuterol... but I have found a mixture of Taurine, Electrolytes and Minerals with proper hydration is golden!

Does high dose taurine have side effects in itself? It's like the main ingredient in energy drinks...

Most I can find are 500mg tablets - so 8 grams would be 16 tabs/day!?!?! Pretty expensive - do you guys have a suggested brand or place to get it cheap?

I just buy a couple kilos at a time, you can find it many places. I put it in my protein drink morning and night, or pre and post workout, 5g at a time. I'll have 20g Taurine a day at times. When you buy anything already in capsules, you lose, financially speaking.
