How much taurine is in one capsule?

Each vegetarian capsule has 1,000 mg of taurine. The label allows one capsule one to three times daily, so a full day can reach 3,000 mg.

When should I take it?

Life Extension suggests taking it on an empty stomach. Many users take one capsule in the morning and another before exercise.

Is it vegetarian and gluten free?

Yes. The capsule is vegetable cellulose, and the product is labeled vegetarian, non-GMO and gluten free.

Does it contain magnesium?

No. Taurine is the only active ingredient; the other components are vegetable stearate, silica and the cellulose capsule.

Can I take it with other supplements?

Taurine is generally well tolerated, but check with a doctor if you take blood pressure or heart medication, since taurine can affect both.

How does it compare with taurine powder?

Powder is cheaper per gram and easier to dose in small amounts. Capsules are more convenient and pre-measured, at the cost of larger pills.

Our take on the Life Extension Taurine 1,000 mg, 90 Vegetarian Capsules, 2 Bottles

Life Extension Taurine delivers 1,000 mg of the amino acid taurine per vegetarian capsule, sold as a two-bottle set. Taurine is a conditionally essential amino acid studied for heart and vascular support and for exercise performance, and this is a plain single-ingredient capsule with no fillers beyond stearate, silica and the cellulose capsule. It suits adults who want a simple, gluten-free, non-GMO taurine dose they can split across the day. Against rivals, the dose is high per capsule and the label is clean, but it is a commodity amino acid: cheaper single-ingredient taurine exists, and the evidence for heart benefits in healthy people is modest.
