Taurine for sleep?

[SoupNaziNazi]

Does taurine actually make u tired/sleepy? Everything I've read points to it being good preworkout but I found one article that claims it makes u tired and when combined with caffeine it actually blunts the effects of the caffeine. Is there any truth to this?

I can tell you when I drink my double scoop protein shake at 4 pm with 3g of taurine, I'm done for the day. Luckily there's only an hour left anyways. But I don't know if that's physical exhaustion by that point, (construction since 6 am) or it's the taurine.

Havent heard of it making you fall asleep. Most people use it for back pumps or just supplement it in. But we carry three taurine products at Strong Supplement Shop if you're in need of some. Invalid Link Removed

Probably. I use it when I get back pumps like today. But too many variables for me to tell primary cause.

Taurine shouldn't be making you more sleepy. Studies on sleep deprived individuals show increased concentrations of taurine.
