Is Taurine Safe for Pregnant Women?
There are no reliable studies indicating that taurine is safe (or unsafe), as taurine supplementation has not been adequately studied in any pregnant women. It might seem logical that the supplements would be perfectly safe for pregnant women, as taurine is just an amino acid that is found in many foods (and produced naturally by the human body). However, it cannot be assumed that taurine supplementation is as safe as a normal dietary intake of taurine. Perhaps, the higher levels due to supplementation could cause problems, or the taurine in supplements may be slightly different from the taurine found in foods.
