why does taurine make me tired?

[qarsonan]

I am taking taurine before my workout to help with electrolytes and pumps as recommended by many on here and also my personal trainer. but I am noticing when I take it before my workout I start feeling tired and want to sleep. this isn't my goal at all, i want to increase energy before a workout not go down. what is causing this?

don't take taurine before a workout if it is making you tired. in fact you don't need to take anything pre workout. your best energy is by training fasted to maximize adrenaline

I can't say I have personally experienced this with taurine

It's kinda odd how many so-called energy drinks mix some ingredients cos they sell vs them working. Many include Taurine

If you are taking pure taurine that seems odd. I have never felt tired from it. I would just start taking it at another time of the day. You don't necessarily need it right before training.

That's my favorite way to workout
