3 years I developed irregular heart rate due to autoimmune thyroditis (or maybe due to the Synthroid I have to take every day). My heartbeat was like Morse code, and had the tendency to stop for several seconds and start again, cca 20 hrs a day. I was told there was no medication for it.

I get migraine headaches from MSG. No pain killer helps. I found references foe Taurine being effective and it does work if I am out and get MSG or one of its hydrolyzed cousins the headache starts up. Taking Taurine gives me relief. I also occasionally get optic migraines that will affect my vision for 15 or 20 minutes. The last time it happened I took Taurine on the chance it would help, and it did almost instantly clear it up.

Five years ago I had heart rhythm concerns. I took taurine supplements and ended the concern in about 2 weeks. I stopped taurine supplementation 3 months ago and the heart rhythm concerns reappeared. Two weeks ago I started taking 2 grams of taurine daily again and the heart rhythm concerns are now gone. I have to conclude taurine is a valid remedy for this.

Started taking 1g per day of Taurine tablet along with Magnesium. I found Taurine to be a wonderful supplement to treat irregular heartbeat (arrythmia). Within a couple of days the heart rhythm became normal.

3 years I developed irregular heart rate due to autoimmune thyroditis (or maybe due to the Synthroid I have to take every day). My heartbeat was like Morse code, and had the tendency to stop for several seconds and start again, cca 20 hrs a day. I was told there was no medication for it. I found a german study online that treated older folks with taurine for the uneven beat and arginine to eliminate pauses. One year ago I started to take a rounded teaspoon of T and a flat teaspoon of A twice a day on an empty stomach, which was a lot less than used in the study. Within 3 weeks my heart was beating normally. Just recently I started to experiment with skipping every 3rd month, as is the recommendation for amino acids. Even during the month off my heart continued to beat normally. I'm using: . NutraBio Taurine Pharmaceutical Grade . Swanson Arginine AKG Powder I'm very grateful to be given this opportunity to share my experience with whomever could benefit from it.Read More Read Less

I recently became highly allergic to MSG. Migraines & nausea were daily issues. I read on line that Taurine could help. Wow, what a difference, I still have to watch what I eat, but I have not had a migraine since I started taking it. Life saver for people who are allergic to MSG.

I started using it because I read that it inhibits arrythmia's and anxiety. I cannot believe how well it works without any side effects. I have suffered from anxiety for years and now I am always calm and feel perfectly normal. I rarely have any skipped beats and they do not bother me much when I do. I take 2 grams per day on an empty stomach.

paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and ectopic beats improved dramatically when I started taking Taurine 1500 mg day. I had been taking magnesium and potassium already, which helped, but the taurine was extremely effective.
