Taurine Dosage for Energy & Recovery After Firefighting Training

Posted by greg208 in Longevity & Anti-Aging - 2 points, 0 comments.

I’m back to training after leaving the fire service and have been adding taurine 3 g a day, split into a morning dose with my protein shake and an evening dose before bed. Not surprisingly, I feel less muscle soreness after a long shift of drills and my chest feels a bit less tight after I’ve had a few weeks ofTempo‑running. I read the /peptides/taurine page and see the typical range 1‑6 g, 1‑3 times daily, so 3 g twice a day feels spot on for me – it’s easy to remember and fits into my routine.

I’m curious how others time it: some put it with carbs, some with a pre‑workout mix. I’ve also started a few drops of alpha‑lipoic acid injections once a week to help my nerves after the shifts, but I’m wondering if there’s any interaction or if I should space them out. Anyone else mixing taurine with ALA? Also, does anyone notice a difference in sleep quality when taking taurine in the evening?
