Waited until I got to my 2nd bottle to write a review. My acupuncturist recommended this to me when I started to get "warm" at night again. Perimenopause is real. I take 2 capsules of the Taurine to make it 2000mg and combine it with magnesium glycinate capsules before I go to sleep. It's definitely helped me feel less warm (my mild version of hot flashes I guess). When I first got it I took one pill of Taurine and didn't feel any difference. But when I started taking 2, that's when I could tell I was sleeping better because I wasn't waking up uncomfortably warm. Will continue this combo for now, for as long as it will work for me or until my period symptoms get worse. Sigh

Saying I am VERY skeptical when it comes to supplements would still be an understatement. The supplement industry is full of broken promises, false advertising, total lack of FDA regulation, and most of it has questionable ingredients to say the least.I preface my review with all of that to help you understand how low my expectations were when trying these pills. I also waited a full 30 days before writing this review to be certain the results were consistent, repeatable and measurable.For the last 3yrs or so my blood pressure has slowly crept up no matter what I do, I think due to sleep apnea. I eat very healthy, don't drink, don't smoke, workout to the extreme yet I nothing I did seemed to stop the slow runaway train which is my blood pressure. It started around 140/80's and slowly crept up over the last 3yrs to around 150 or 160 over 100 to 110.I tried reducing sodium in my diet, pure pomegranate juice daily, doing more cardio, etc. Long story short, nothing that I tried for cardiovascular health helped. I also tried a few different prescriptions for blood pressure but the side effects were quite annoying and they didn't even bring it down.Due to my sleep apnea I am constantly tired all day, have a hard time with short term memory (especially specific details), and I believe this is also the source of my high blood pressure.I read an article recently where they did a study on Taurine and called it the fountain of youth. One thing in particular that caught my attention was the benefits to cardiovascular health. By this point my BP was averaging 150/100 and jumping as high as 165/110 so I decided I would try Taurine before going back to a doctor and trying other prescriptions with their long list of side effects until I eventually got a dosage and medicine that worked.I needed a go/no go answer FAST on whether I would get back on prescription BP medication so I started from day one on 3 pills a day of Taurine with a plan to give up after 60 days if I got no results. The first week was a total disappointment...nada, nothing, absolutely no change--no additional energy, no change in BP, etc. At this point I was checking my BP at least 3x a day; morning afternoon, evening.I think around week 2 I noticed my BP was averaging around 140/90's which is pretty much where it typically sits on a good day anyway, so I just chalked that up to less sodium intake that week or something like that. At the beginning of week 2 I suddenly got a 120/70 reading, it still wasn't very exciting because I was already getting random perfect readings before the Taurine (few and far between but still occasionally it would happen).Week 2 continues and around the middle of the week suddenly I am getting dizzy in the middle of the day, I can't stand up quickly, and I just get a slight dizziness like I am on a slow moving ship. I check my BP and it starts hitting lows of 110/70 and highs of 130/90. The dizziness was me being so unused to "normal" BP that I felt it when it was that "low" for me. I keep going with 3 pills a day and keep getting dizzy and hitting lows I hadn't seen in years.Week 3 rolls around and my BP solidly averages around 120's over 80's, the dizziness is mostly gone and I am finally convinced that maybe the Taurine is doing something.It is now Week 4, I still get random 140's over 90's but those are now the exception vs the norm, my norm in week 4 (this week as I write this) is around 125/75 and I am still taking Taurine 3x a day. I am disappointed that I don't get this boost of energy that many other reviews are reporting, I am still tired all day.....but a very subtle benefit is that my memory seems to have improved somewhat. I can now remember details such as strings of numbers and characters and people's names when they tell it to me once whereas before I would have to have it right in front of me.Honestly I don't even care about the memory part, I can work around that (write things down, etc.), but the effect it has had on my BP is just incredible to me. I truly hope it continues like this and doesn't stop working one day; I will always prefer the natural route before taking prescription medication.

i have been taking this supplement for tinnitus. To my amazement it started to work in less than a week. I have continued to get good results with this product including a good nights sleep and better mood. The tinnitus has not stopped but has toned down much to my relief. I have been on several review sites for this product and some state that it does not work but they may need to give it more time. On average I read that it can start to work in two weeks to two months or more so stay with it. I needed to find help regardless of price and this brand happens to be very reasonable. It has come out very well in most reviews. This brand has all the information you need on the bottle including a phone number. Check all of your medications as some can cause tinnitus. If that is the case, talk to your doctor. I took one star off because the bottle arrived with white dust, however the capsules are fine. It was not wrapped and rattled around in a box during shipment. It did arrive promptly so I am happy with the service.

Really enjoy this supplement - recommend it

I bought this taurine supplement because I make homemade food for my cat, and I realized he wasn’t getting the taurine he needs from his diet. It’s super easy to use—just pop open the capsule and mix the powder into his food. No fuss, no mess. The best part? The price is super reasonable and is a good quality supplement. Since adding this to his meals, I feel much better knowing he’s getting the nutrients he needs. If you’re whipping up homemade meals for your fur baby, I highly recommend adding this taurine supplement to the mix!

Bought to add to homemade cat food but the cat would not eat it. P

Only 30 min after taking this, my blood pressure dropped and heart rate slowed down way too much! Scared me! This one is not for me.

Cheap, no issues, showed up fast.
