Taurine and phosphatidylcholine interact with eachother?

[Guest guest]

Is this anything to be concerned with for someone taking both lecithin

and taurine?

Suggest an adverse effect of taurine administration on

phosphatidylcholine hepatic synthesis.

A person would have to look at the whole paper to see what was done.

Usually doses used are way more than would ever be considered normal.

Sometimes the conclusions drawn don't follow from the experimental

data. If you have the whole paper you could send it to me direct.

I supplement lecithin and taurine and am not concerned.

I can't say anything about the validity of the results reported,

but even if valid, I am not sure how important it would be if

taurine effects hepatic synthesis of PC. Hepatic synthesis may

not be working properly anyway, and you can control your level

of PC by taking it in supplement form.
