No I think you have the right idea, supplements are to make up what we miss in food, and there’s a lot.
Also I don’t believe taurine is a naturally occurring substance.
Unless you’re drinking bull urine.
No taurine is very abundant in the body.
As always, examine has all the facts.
https://examine.com/supplements/taurine/I've had heart failure when I had covid so it *might* be especially good for me, along with d-ribose, which is also "fuel" for the heart.
I don't know what data those Red Bull formulators went by back then, some thought it was weird that they put that in there, a sort of nervous system depressant, but all the energy drinks have, although it's hard to determine if it's doing much at those dosages. When energy drinks became more popular here the authorities and docs suspected taurine was causing heart problems in users as they were showing up in hospitals complaining of various symptoms. But it was just caffeine overdoses, or Vodka/Redbull overdoses. It hasn't been banned because there's no data showing damage.
