L-Taurine Ultra Caps 1500mg | 365 capsules | German Elite Nutrition

L-Taurine Ultra Caps by German Elite Nutrition

Do you prefer taking taurine in a capsule rather than as a powder? These l-taurine capsules by German Elite Nutrition deliver 1500 mg per capsule, one of the higher dosages on the market. Taurine is a sulfur-containing, amino acid-like substance that occurs naturally in your body. One bottle contains 365 capsules. Taking three per day gives you 4500 mg, without having to weigh out or mix anything.

What taurine exactly is

Strictly speaking, taurine is not a real amino acid, but an amino acid-like compound with a sulfur group. Your body produces it itself from the amino acids cysteine and methionine, and it is found in relatively high concentrations in your heart, brain, muscles, and retina. Of all the free amino acid-like substances in your body, taurine is one of the most common. You mainly get it through food, especially fish, shellfish, and meat. Apart from food, most people know taurine from energy drinks and pre-workout formulas, where it is almost always included. As a standalone supplement, these capsules allow you to take taurine without the sugar, caffeine, and colorings found in such drinks. Purely the substance itself, in a fixed amount per capsule, so you know exactly how much you are taking.

1500 mg per capsule, with 99 percent purity

What sets these capsules apart is the amount per piece. At 1500 mg, it is on the high side compared to many other taurine products, where 500 to 1000 mg is common. This means that one or two capsules are often enough to reach your desired amount, and you do not have to swallow a handful of capsules. The taurine has a purity of more than 99 percent and is free from magnesium stearate, flavorings, colorings, and preservatives. It also contains no yeast, lactose, or gluten. Every batch is made and tested under controlled conditions, so the composition remains consistent. This keeps the list of what you are taking short and clear: taurine and the capsule around it, nothing more. This also makes it easier to incorporate if you use multiple supplements at the same time and want to know what comes from where.

Beef gelatin capsule

Good to know: the capsule shell is made of beef gelatin. This means that this product is not vegan or vegetarian. Those who eat plant-based may be better off looking for taurine in powder form, as that comes without a shell. The gelatin capsule itself dissolves in your stomach and requires no further additives. What is special is that there is no anti-caking agent, something that is not always the case with capsules; magnesium stearate is often added to make production run smoothly. This has been omitted here. This fits the idea behind this product: as little as possible around the taurine, so that virtually only the taurine and the shell remain.

How to take these l-taurine capsules

The usual serving is three capsules per day, totaling 4500 mg of taurine, taken with plenty of water. You can take them all at once or spread them throughout the day, whatever suits you. Some people prefer taking taurine around their workout, others at a fixed time such as breakfast. Many athletes use it as part of their stack, for example alongside creatine, caffeine, or l-tyrosine, because it is easy to combine. Since a bottle contains 365 capsules, taking three per day will last you about four months. If you take fewer, the bottle will naturally last even longer. This way, you determine the pace at which you go through your supply, without having to reorder halfway through the month. You do not necessarily have to take them with a meal, although some people find that easier on the stomach.

In short, these are l-taurine capsules with 1500 mg each and a purity above 99 percent. 365 capsules per bottle, without unnecessary additives. Because there is hardly anything around it, you know exactly what you are getting with every capsule. A clear choice for those who prefer swallowing taurine rather than drinking it.
