Guest guest Posted February 26, 2002 Report Share Posted February 26, 2002 Is the Taurine (spelling?) the active ingredient in the Beta-TCP that thins the bile? If so, is there another source to get enough taurine in natural foods? _________________ No, Barry, there's more. Let me look on my bottle. BTW, I also have some Taurine in a bottle from the health food store. 1 tablet has: 60 mg. of Vit C 100 mg. of Taurine 50 mg. of Pancrelipase 100 mg. of Beet Concentrate (aerial part, roots and tubers) 20 mcg of Superoxide Dismutase (from vegetable culture) 20 mcg of Catalase (from vegetable culture) _________________ Dr. Springer told me it was 3 tablets 3X a day. But I usually only take three, which is at my afternoon meal. So far I'm fine. Now, I always carry it around with me in my purse in case we happen to eat out, which isn't often ;( Well, you know how money is sometimes. If I eat out during lunch or something, I always have them with me. I order two bottles at a time. It's been a life-saver for me. Take care, Susie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2002 Report Share Posted February 27, 2002 Susie, Oops, let me try again with a post. :-) So, let me ask the two questions again...btw, thanks for the Beta-TCP breakdown and dosage. Is the 'taurine' the active ingredient that thins the bile, or is it some other ingredient or combination of a few of them in the Beta-TPC? Also, is there a nature food source with taurine in it? Thanks again.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2002 Report Share Posted February 28, 2002 Thanks Lucinda (And Susie), So, there is no natural food to get Taurine from. I've noticed in GNC stores that Taurine is in energetic, (body builders) supplements. I can't find Beat-TCP in any health stores. Must only be online ordering. Thanks again.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2002 Report Share Posted February 28, 2002 Cats for instance get their high needs for taurine from meat and heart muscle is the highest. Some markets carry heart. I buy it for my dogs. The govt sight says garlic and parsley have taurine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, mercury toxic people often have issues with cystein/cysteine. There are tests at GSDL and Doctors Data I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 28, 2002 Report Share Posted February 28, 2002 Barry, Taurine is found in fish and meat, particularly much in the blood and the interior organs. To a large extent, it's made by cysteine, though. There's one friendly chap here in Norway who is totally hung up with the issue of taurine, constantly posting about it in food and nutrition newsgroups. If you go to http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search and search for taurine in the group sci.med.nutrition, you will find numerous discussions he has initiated, and maybe there's something useful to find among the more technical messages. -- Helge >Also, is there a nature food source with taurine in it? > >Thanks again. >Barry.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2002 Report Share Posted February 28, 2002 Hedge, Thanks for that info on taurine. I don't eat blood or internal organs but I do eat fish. I'll search the group page you send and see if I can find it in any natural food sources.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2002 Report Share Posted February 28, 2002 Debbie, Garlic and Parsley have Taurine? Thanks for that info. This is the first time I've heard an answer that a natural food has Taurine. I'll research it some more. Thanks again.
