PVC, ectopics natural treatment?

[Niki_]

Have any of you had good luck treating PVC with taurine? Or any other natural supplements? Or methods?

I take a beta blocker which helps a ton. I haven’t found anything of the natural variety that helps.

I have been taking taurine and l-arginine and it reduces them like 70%

Hi Niki! What doses are you using?

[Niki_ in reply to JannaD]

1000 mg taurine 500 mg L-Arginine

200 mg coQ10

99 mg potassium

Taken together when I wake up on a empty stomach

I take this same amounts 5 or so hours later before I eat lunch

After lunch I drink my magnesium citrate drink it’s 300 mg and take a fish oil supplement

Then I take the above vitamins before bed minus the CoQ10 I only take that twice a day..

It seems like a lot but I have gotten used to it and to me it’s better than taking pharmaceuticals that usually only mask a problem.. if these vitamins are helping me obviously I was deficient in these things to a degree.. that’s how I look at it. I would rather fix a problem than just put a bandaid on it..

Hi Niki! I started taking a taurine supplement (1000mg) last week for my frequent pacs/pvcs as well and they’ve definitely helped! I was taking magnesium and didn’t see any improvement. I wanted to ask you, has the taurine caused you any upset stomach and/or a headache? It has for me and I’m super bummed. I’m taking a break from it for a few days but really don’t want to stop it for the fear of returning palpitations. Thanks!

Oh gosh .. no I have not had any of those effects. It actually helps my headaches .. I suffer from migraines and they are almost completely gone! I’m sorry your having that effect. I take 3000 to 4000 mg a day of taurine now .. i start with 2000 mg then another 1000 in the afternoon then another 1000 before bed ( sometimes)

I’m gonna take it again after not taking it for a few days to see if it does the same thing. The headache could’ve been hormonal. I’m also going to ask my PCP if it’s okay to take even though what I’ve read says so. Also, what brand do you take? I have the Life Extension one. Thanks for replying!

I take the “Jarrow formulas” brand they are about $10 for100, 1000 mg capsules
