Sue,

I thought they were the same thing. I just did a search and can't

find any difference between mag. taurate and mag. taurinate. I am

taking mag. taurinate from VitaCost. The product is made by

Nutrceutical Sciences Institute.

After reading a LONG article by Eby, and after Rich V. told me

I probably needed taurine, I bought the above mentioned product. Here

is one link to an article on taurine and I think a link back to Eby's

excellent article.

I am doing three things that seem to have turned my life around WHEN

I DO THEM FAITHFULLY.

1. Take magnesium taurinate

2. Take 2 Recuperation packets a day

3. Walk and swim every day. (Couldn't do this at first until I had

been on 1 and 2 for a couple of weeks.

I've taken over the years so many different forms of oral mag. But

the last was Potassium, Magnesium, Aspartate. This, to get some

Potassium in. However, my doc just took me off it because while he

wasn't absolutely certain he was concerned about the aspartate since

he feels it's a brain excititory (if that's a word) and even

wondered if it might have some connection with " aspartame " though

that would surprise me since it's from labs and I don't

think they'd be that irresponsible.

He's going to research it. So he put me back on Mag Citrate, as I

never saw any advantage from Glycinate, which I took for a goodly

while, and it's costly.

But I just found at iherb a product from Jarrow that has Magnesium

Citrate, Potassium Chloride and Taurine, and he really feels that is

the way I should go since I don't have a good source of Potassium

and Taurine is considered from what I heard thru the Cheney

grapevine and from McGuff's that it is use to either or both build

tissue or make them less leaky. This product is called " Magnesium

Optimizer " and is actually less expensive than s or Thorne

mag citrate alone.

This does not address the issue of taurate vs taurine but when I

have time I'll try to do (unless someone else comes to the rescue)

some research on taurine. I do happen to be feeling a little better

in some respects but I have changed several things or ways of taking

them so I don't know if I can attribute it to taurine, but my sense

so far from what I;ve heard is that it may very well be beneficial

to us.

Judith, The best absorbed form of magnesium is magnesium malate...a good

treatment for fibro. Mel

[Guest guest]

Mel,

This may well be correct. In my case though I switched to mag.

taurinate because someone, I think Rich V., suggested that I needed

taurine to help my tendons recover from the quinolone damage. I

apologize for not posting more of the studies I have read. I think I

gave a link previously. It is a complex subject.

Seems that taurate and taurinate means the same.

http://www.scriptit.com.au/magnesium.htm

Also found this site having good info on magnesium sources,oral and

transdermal magnesium.

http://www.worldwidehealthcenter.net/articles-358.html

Got confused on one sentence.

It is said in this site that

`Finally, if a magnesium product is in a gelatin capsule, the gelatin is

over 11% processed free glutamic acid (MSG).`

Have I understood this correctly? Do gelatin capsules contain MSG?

Best wishes.

Hi, Nil.

Gelatin is protein made from pig skin, primarily, so it has a lot of

the amino acids that are in collagen. The main ones are proline,

glycine and glutamic acid. So it isn't actually monosodium glutamate,

but it is glutamate (or glutamic acid).
