Magnesium Taurate. Magnesium + taurine — gentle on the gut with cardiovascular and glycemic synergies.
How it works. Taurine modulates cardiac calcium handling and acts as an osmolyte; Mg stabilizes membrane potentials.
What the research supports. 2 graded claims. Strongest: Modest BP reduction (limited).
How much to take. Typical dose: 200–400 mg elemental. Evening.
Side effects and interactions. 1 medication interaction listed. Serious: Discontinue and seek medical advice if symptoms are severe, persistent, or include difficulty breathing.
Stacking. Pairs well with Omega-3, CoQ10, Magnesium glycinate.
Common forms. Available as Chelated form (glycinate, bisglycinate, citrate, malate), Inorganic salt (oxide, sulfate, chloride), Liquid ionic solution, Topical or transdermal preparation.
Key studies. 9 studies cited. The strongest are listed with links to PubMed.

Goals
How it works
Taurine modulates cardiac calcium handling and acts as an osmolyte; Mg stabilizes membrane potentials.
Pathways
- Cardiac Ca²⁺ handling
- Mg-ATP
- Insulin sensitivity
Effects
- +Cardiac rhythm stability supports
- ↓Blood pressure (modest) decreases
What the research supports
Strong: consistent results across large trials or meta-analyses. Moderate: several trials, mostly positive. Limited: small or mixed studies. Preclinical: animal or cell research only.
