The aminoacid taurine

LKG

Do somebody have the experience combining taurine with anastrozole therapy in order to try to maintain body composition and reduce fat?

I do believe in taurine but since braeast cancer cells have receptors for taurin it is hard to know if good or bad.

Appreciate discussion.

Thanks

I have read contradictory things about taurine in relation to bc. I have some taurine but have been reluctant to take it. I would really like to know more...current info, if anybody happens to know of any new research because I am curious too.

I took taurine for a short period of time, and I cannot say that it helped with any fat distribution, weight loss. My nutritionist had me taking it for about 6 months, and I did not lose the weight that I had gained around my midsection until I started training for an Olympic distance triathlon. Yes, it took that much effort for me to return to my "old" shape and weight that I used to be before 3 kids.

For weight loss, I would recommend a whole foods diet, cut out all sugar and carbs (except complex carbs from veggies), and lots of exercise. I cannot believe it took as much exercise as I've done in order to get down to my high school weight. Honestly, I am amazed at how much harder it is in middle age to lose weight.
