I'm currently looking at picking up some L-Taurine powder (to add to shakes / smoothies), or some Magnesium Taurate, or a Mg + Potassium Taurate (from Cardiovascular Research.)
In the past, I've used cheap Whole Foods brand taurine capsules which seemed to give me symptoms of acid reflux / GERD (although, I was also supplementing L-Glycine at the time.) I'm not sure whether it's better to take these on an empty stomach or with a big meal.
Which form would be ideal for me to grab? I haven't been able to find much information on Potassium Taurate -- I've read that supplementing potassium can be rough on the stomach / GI or have depressive effects on the cardiovascular system? I've also read that Magnesium Taurate can cause drowsiness.
I'm looking for something to balance out against my low-meat diet (eg. low taurine diet), and long term beta-alanine supplementation, which I've read depletes taurine.
