********CRITIQUES, RULES, AND NOTES********

Critiques of my work are welcome! Please be aware of the following notes & rules before submitting critique:

The information provided in this study analysis is limited to the subject and outcomes detailed in the study analyzed [For example: “Consuming sugar (subject) raises insulin (outcome).”] and is not meant to be an all-encompassing education on every health outcome of the subject (unless otherwise stated). I welcome all respectful critique of the study as I may have missed a key detail that you may catch; if that is the case, I will make an ‘Amendment’ to the video and credit you (thank you for making science knowledge better!). Also be aware that I receive hundreds of YouTube comments per day, so the only way your critique can be considered is if you follow the steps outlined below. Finally, YouTube auto-deletes links, so I do not see most comments with links attached.

RULES:
If your comment is rude, you will be banned without warning.
If your comment is not about the studies/topics at hand (i.e. extending to other outcomes not discussed) or offers critique with no scientific basis, your comment will be ignored.

If you can follow these rules, I will try to address your critique and if there is merit, I will add an AMENDMENT to the content in question and pin it so everyone can see it.

AMENDMENT:
I believe I mention that taurine is an amino acid (true) that can be used in functional proteins - this last part is incorrect; taurine is an amino acid, but it not involved incorporated in proteins through protein synthesis.

Also, on a quick search (I haven’t looked into this deeply), taurine seems to reduce or attenuate increases in cholesterol lipoproteins according to a meta-analysis (DOI: So, as I suspected, it isn’t much of a worry (I’ll need to confirm this) - some people in the comments of my last video on this topic suggested that taurine levels may be elevated in people who consume more meat (saturated fat), which could have an indirect effect on lipoprotein levels. This is a good possibility.

Thank you for NOT shortening your videos. I understand we are all pressed for time in this world with work, family's, and social media. Knowledge should not be sacrificed to accommodate a schedule. I feel we should make the time to properly absorb and digest the material. You teach a lot of topics and the depth you cover is important. More importantly is your clear explanation of the material. Please don't change a thing and continue doing what you do!!🙏

When I was in college, molecular biology was a NEW major! That was a lifetime ago, and though I eventually wound up in computer science as a career, I still love to hear "trash" talk from biology people. I'm also interested in it because I'm getting old and looking for the Fountain of Youth. I've been taking Taurine for about 3 months now, but haven't yet noticed any significant changes. I'm thinking about increasing my dosage. Thanks for this and good luck with your studies.

[FreeKekistann]

My great, great, great, great grandkids will ask me if I’m on taurine 😊

[discokillers]

First time on your channel. You explained everything methodically and clearly for the average person to understand. Great job!

[JohanLofgren-jcmh]

Thank you for not adding stupid background "music". Please let your channel clean. It is the important message I want to hear. ❤ your education.

[Michael-ojpr]

Awesome you are doing this, finally good scientific videos. I have a physics background and really appreciate the time and effort you put in this. We need more people like you!!

Only few min in and gave thumbs up just on quality of research and effort to organize data and facts for viewers. Brilliant. Thx Nic.

[rodrigosanchez]

Hi Nico, I love you content, I learn a lot and I am precticing my english listenig skill too, all good. Your channel is great... good vibes from Chile..

[zonkedoutzygote]

By far the best channel I've found for indepth explanation of studies. Thank you so much for taking the time.

Excellent vlog. I've been taking Taurine for six months and at 64 I'm feeling the benefits. But the best thing I found it useful for is my 8 year old Dog whose epilepsy has returned after 2 years on a medication called Epiphen. The seizures started back in August and as I keep a seizure journal I could see how these seizures have come back gradually until December from the 1st up until the 14th she suffered 16 seizures. After hearing it helps with brain dysfunction and is ok for dogs I gave my dog a dose and since the 15th December she hasn't had 1 single seizure. I have documented this and done a YouTube vlog confirming how it has helped her and I'm doing weekly updates. Unlike the Epiphen the Taurine may even extend her life and it's beneficial for her overall health which is more than I can say for the Epiphen. Anyone wishing to hear the progress on my findings can see it for themselves on my YouTube channel (Just Kidding) yes that's the name of it.

I'm just so into these lectures of yours, Verhoeven.
As a neurologist, all this is so fascinating to me. Immeasurably more fun than allopathic medicine.

[rodrigsantsil]

Your video is so FANTASTIC I'm going to turn on my TV for the first time in 11 YEARS ❗❗❗ so I can view all the graphs and charts of it and sturdy it properly.

CONGRATS! 🎉🎉🎉

Keep up the good work.

[WebDre]

Thanks to Physionic I'll be an amateur molecular medicine scientist soon. Mom will be so proud of me 😃

[markbrogan]

I’ve been taking taurine the last month
I’m 60 and I feel as fit now as I did when I was younger
It’s amazing 🥊

[zoey]

Please never stop making videos!! I just found you today & took my 1st Taurine!! (60)....Love how you take your time and break it down !!the longer the video the better!!!♥️

[pocketsuperman]

I am 51 and take Taurin 2 grams daily for 6 months. My sleep got better, my mood is like more balanced and i have more energy keeping low heard pace.
I don‘ t know the reason, but my doktor seing my blood work, regading my LDL cholesterol asked me if i take any medicine. After my negative answer he said, that he has never seen so low cholesterol lebels on individual with my age without taking any pills.

Started taking taurine and creatine because of you in depth reporting. Looking at glynac. I see you are somewhat ambivalent about glynac. Back ground, 74 yr old, went from sissy squats to 280/300 pound 3 set/20 rep squats. Thanks for all your help in understanding supplements.

I'm watching this particular video for the third time to glean the maximum amount of information contained herein. I am a classically trained epidemiologist and tend to dismiss...or outright laugh at...most medical channels here on RubeTube. You have a winner and a subscriber.

My, my, my, how time flies. I remember Pearson and Shaw talking about taurine back in the 80s, saying that someday this would be the new vitamin C. I have been using taurine that long, and what was an inexpensive nutrient will turn into the new darling, become scarce, and go up in price. The dark side to these studies. The GlyNac study did the same thing.
