Review on 💪 Now Supplements Taurine Pure Powder: Optimize Nervous System Health with this Amino Acid Powerhouse - 8-Ounce by Kevin Gonzalez

I have myotonia congenita, a disease caused by a mutation in the CLCN1 chloride channel gene. Because of this, my skeletal muscles contract for too long after rest. Repeated movements temporarily relieve symptoms. This is the same mutation as in the passed out goats. They don't faint - their muscles contract and they lose their balance. Taurine is said to help open chloride channels and close sodium channels. Myotonia congenita is caused by the inability of chloride ions to cross cell membranes at the normal rate to allow muscles to relax normally (I think? The scientific papers I was trying to read were ridiculously difficult to understand). There was a study on taurine and myotonia congenita with encouraging results. Due to the small number of studies on this condition, this is the best **tested** evidence that can be found. However, anecdotal reports from the community have shown that energy drinks containing taurine appear to relieve symptoms. Then others specifically tried taurine and found that it often helped. In the last few days of taking this supplement, I can safely say that it is helping me. I feel the effects within an hour after application. When I clench my fist, it usually takes more than 10 seconds to fully open. With the encore, it might take a second or two. When I get up from a chair, it usually takes me up to 30 seconds to get up and walk. With taurine it only takes up to 15 seconds and sometimes less. I don't know if this will last forever or if my body will develop a tolerance for it over time. All I can say right now is that I'm grateful for its impact right now. My only other alternative is drugs, and all myotonia drugs have some potential side effects that are very serious (for one of them, one of the possible side effects is literally cardiac arrest. I won't do it).
