I was thinking about Taurine today. I was wondering why they add it to energy drinks along with B vitamins (and other stuff). I actually take a dose of Taurine and B6 before I go on my longer bike rides and find that I perform much better. So I did some searching and found that Taurine activates GABA receptors in the brain. So if I read it right, that promotes calm mental focus. Also, I have read other blog entries and DV posts that claim Taurine seems to give more vivid dreams. This has got me a little excited about adding it as a supporting supplement or even trying it as a stand alone aid. I've barely scratched the surface there but what do ya'll think? |
