BulkSupplements Taurine Powder Unflavored Gluten Free Amino Acid Supplement For Energy Muscle Recovery And Heart Health One Kilogram Bag

It is what it is

I take a few grams of taurine daily to improve my cardiac rhythm, help with glycemic control, and reduce my appetite. Taking the amount I need for this is quite expensive when purchased in capsule form, but relatively cheap for a supplement when purchased as this bulk powder. The powder itself is somewhat crystalline and dissolves well. It completely dissolves instantaneously in a warm liquid, but takes a few stirs in cold water as shown in my clip. It has almost no perceptible flavor and is easy to get down. I've not had any unwanted side effects. There is nothing about the quality of the product that needs improvement as far as I can tell.In terms of what it has done for my health, since taking this my PVC load has reduced from 5% to less than 1%. Whether that is all due to the taurine it's hard to say, but it certainly seems to be helping. I take another supplement for glycemic control but have not noticed any further blood sugar reduction since adding this. However I am maintaining a healthy level. Finally, this didn't begin immediately, but now it is certain that my appetite has decreased. Approximately a month into taking it I realized that I really only want to eat twice a day, and my portions are less because I simply feel more satiated on less food. I wouldn't go so far as to say it completely cuts my desire to eat more than I should, but it does seem to help me stick to my prescribed calorie limit much easier than before.All in all I give this full stars because it is a good value, there are no unwanted effects, and I am getting some of the important benefits that I was hoping for. Of what was expected, I would say I'm only perhaps disappointed at it not helping more with blood sugar control, but as I am still maintaining normal levels, it's not a failure. Definitely would recommend this as a quality product to anyone interested in trying taurine.

Love the product and appreciate the difference it makes in my everyday life. The powder aides in restful sleep and it's easy to take due to it being tasteless. I find it to be a good value for the money compared to many other supplements and have been using it regularly for several years. I usually take it after my morning coffee and before bed at night. The ingredients dependably give me the same results, but I do notice a difference in the fineness/granularity of the powder which does change how it dissolves. It's a supplement that I have no plans to quit taking and this manufacturer bulksupplements.com is the one I choose.

The crystals are a fine, gritty powder, and they readily dissolve in water. I have not noticed any off-flavors or scents - it has a barely detectable slightly sweet flavor when dissolved in a small amount of water, and no scent - so it seems to be processed well. The bag has a wide base, so it sits well when stored in the cabinet and on the counter when using. I got the 1kg bag, which is a good value - far less expensive than gel caps - and still easy to use. Initially, I weighed the amount I wanted to use and now, knowing the weight to volume, I just use a kitchen measuring spoon for the amount I want to use.[Edit] I have read some reviews regarding the website not stating it contains silicon dioxide. The second picture of the product, "Suppliment Facts", does show at the bottom, "Other Ingredients: Silicon Dioxide". Also, the webpage, under "Important information", which is below "Compare with similar items", does also state "Ingredients Taurine, Silicon Dioxide".Silicon Dioxide is an anti-caking agent. It is essentially non-reactive, found naturally in many vegetables, such as leafy greens, other foods, and in our body. As I have not found any sediment in my water glass, I would believe there must not be very much silicon dioxide in it and it would have to be very fine. The label does not list the percentage nor weight of the silicon dioxide to taurine.[Edit] About two months after purchase, the bag seal is partly peeling away from the bag as it is opened. This is an issue several other posters have also mentioned. It still appears to seal well after closing, but to reduce the problem with the bag seal, I transferred some into a small container, but large enough to hold about a month's supply, and tightly sealed the bag.

I'm pretty pleased with this stuff overall. Since I have problems with anxiety and occasional bouts of insomnia, those were the two things I had in mind when I made this purchase. I'm very satisfied with the generous amount of product for this price and I am sure it will last me a long time.As for its effectiveness, it has a mild sedative effect on me and I think it helps me sleep a bit more soundly. This stuff is not a game-changer for me and I intend to "stack" it with some more Bulk Supplements products I have just ordered in hopes that I can bring my anxiety down and make some meaningful improvements to my sleep, which always tends to be restless even when I am not dealing with insomnia.When I first got this stuff I was dosing what turned out to be rather high for me and two things happened. Firstly, I think it lowered my blood pressure rather significantly. I am on a very low dose of two blood pressure medications since my pressure was not crazy-high and usually hovered around the 140/90 range. With my medications I am usually around 130/80 or so which my doctor considers to be OK.One day soon after I started taking this I probably took a heaping teaspoon of this stuff twice during the day with water. That night I was sitting watching TV and when I got up to go to the bathroom I had a pretty intense dizzy spell. Thinking that it might be blood pressure-related, I check and was shocked to find it was 99/59! I don't think it had ever been that low in my life. For me, this stuff seems to be able to influence blood pressure significantly when taken in large enough doses.The second thing that I discovered it that my digestive system does not seem to tolerate larger doses of this stuff very well. I found that it produced a lot of gas which was reminiscent of rotten eggs and that certainly did not do much to please my wife! I also experienced some general abdominal pain and discomfort which was unpleasant but not severe. Both the discomfort and gas stopped a day or two after I significantly lowered the dose. I now take 1/4 teaspoon in water twice a day- once in the morning when I get up and then just before I go to bed.This stuff mixes great with water and I cannot even tell it has been added. I've even talked my wife into adding this to her water and even though she is notoriously intolerant of anything that makes her food or drink taste different in any way, she has no problem adding this stuff on a regular basis.Like a lot of these other supplements, you kind of need to play around a bit to dial in the dosage that's right for you and then you'll probably find it to be a useful addition to your daily supplement routine.
