My son was taking 500 mg twice a day. Its a 1000 mg cap and today I

dropped it to 1/3 cap in the morning, so it would be about 333.33 mg

give or take a few. We did not get a nosebleed per se but just

smidgens of red in the mucus. Noteworthy, I had not seen this ever

before and my son is 8.

Hi all,

I have been giving my son 1000 mg daily of Taurine and have never had a

problem with nosebleeds. Now, on the flip side, my daughter, who is NT

and does not take Taurine at all, had for several years problems with

nosebleeds where blood would come gushing out, sometimes in the middle

of the night--scary, and took a while to stop. After it became " kind

of the norm " with her and we started to get quite worried, we took her

to two different doctors about this issue and they said that some kids

have fragile capillaries inside the nasal cavity making them more prone

to nosebleeds. They checked it all, and nothing! One of them said

that as she would grow up this should subside...and to my surprise, it

actually has! Even one of their nurses indicated that she had this

same problem with one of her children and as he grew it went away. Now

my daughter only gets a nosebleed maybe 4-6 times per year, especially

when it's really dry outside. She had as many nosebleeds (when it was

really bad) as 2x per week and this was when she was 3-7 yrs old.

Stan,

CJ’s issue

was with L-lysine (not taurine) and since I threw it away I’m not sure of

the mgs but I only crushed the very smallest amount from the corner of the

pill. My guess is it was around 100mgs from a 500mg pill. What is

interesting is that they say that preliminary studies show L-lysine may increase

the absorption of Calcium. Calcium is another supplement CJ cannot take (some

of his worst days were on Calcium, this was clear). Again, more questions

than answers. Thanks for taking so much time. -

Might very well be tying into questions about sulphur chemistry

amongst a gazillion other variables. It all eventually leads back to

genetic predispositions doesn't it? Can't help what you are born

into.
