andreafrazer Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Hi all - Haven't been here in a while. Glad to be back. My son is 12 and he had a full year of constant quacky type ticking. He is/was not on meds. When I gave him magnesium citrate/NAC and Taurine, they dramatically reduced. Then a nutritionist friend said Taurine is awful for kids. Can really stunt their growth. I took him off and the tics are back. (Though could be due to running out of NAC and his system hasn't adjusted yet.) Any thoughts on dangers of Taurine? Thanks.

Chemar Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Well my son definitely did not have stunted growth! He is mid 20s now and 6 ft tall!!! He also was not on it long term but it really helped him tremendously when he needed it most. I think perhaps the problems might be on mega dosing or the mixtures found in energy drinks etc?? Magnesium taurate was the form recommended by our physician Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreafrazer Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Hi Chemar - Thanks for your response. It's great to see you here still. You've been so helpful. When you say "magnesium taurate" is that instead of citrate or in another word for Taurine? I know I can Google, but curious to hear from you. Thanks so much.

Chemar Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Hi yes, magnesium taurate is the chelated form of magnesium with taurine. andreafrazer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
