Taurine lessens nandrolone (Deca Durabolin) side effects?

I just read a study "Amelioration of nandrolone decanoate-induced testicular and sperm toxicity in rats by taurine"

The study suggests some strong protective effects from taking taurine while on nandrolone therapy (Deca).

Looking for any confirmation that the effect extends to humans.

What would be a reasonable dosage?

The rats where given 100mg per kg of body weight. That would be 10 grams a day for me. I could not find much online about what dosage is toxic.

10 grams of taurine is a high dose but I have no experience with doses over 3 grams per day.

Thanks Nelson. Taurine looks good!

My main goal is to try to prevent Lipid changes, so I will start with 6g for a month and see how it feels.

Sounds like a human study needed to know if it helps humans on Deca.

Thanks

I've been taking 8 grams (Nutricost brand) per day for the past month or longer. I haven't had any negative effects.

I take 4g Taurine prior to working out with L-Citrulline, L-Arginine, Creatine, and then a Taurine 4g dose in the evening.

I was hoping the Taurine would stop/reduce the ringing in my hears, but unfortunately it hasn't helped that aspect.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
