Surprised a search for Taurine in this forum turned up virtually nothing. I've gone 80% Vegan on my diet so I don't get a lot of Taurine from foods. I did a little research to make sure supplementing with it wasn't pro-PCa. I'm trying to keep my supplementation regimen as simple as possible though as I'm in remission and I don't want to stack a bunch of stuff that doesn't have clear evidence of benefit.
I think my does of 1G a day is pretty low, combined with all the study evidence (mostly in vitro of course) points to it having potential positive benefit if anything. Anyone else taking this and/or have opinions on it?

April 2015 - "we investigated the anti-prostate cancer metastasis effect of taurine, and proved taurine suppressed PSA and several metastasis-related genes in human prostate cancer cells, LNCaP and PC-3. In addition, taurine inhibited migration of LNCaP and PC-3."
