A small fasting single-dose study in eight healthy men given 4 g of a specific taurine product reported a plasma elimination half-life of 1.0 hour (range 0.7 to 1.4 hours), a peak plasma concentration of 86.1 mg/L at a median 1.5 hours, and an area under the curve of 206.3 mg-hr/L over 8 hours. That plasma result does not describe tissue stores, long-term effects, or prevention of stimulant-related injury.[1]
