AI-generated summary

- Huberman stopped taking taurine and avoids energy drinks containing it after experiencing burst microvasculature (small blood vessels) in his sclera (eye whites), which he attributes to excessive taurine levels. - He warns that microvascular damage visible in the eyes likely indicates deeper damage in the brain, suggesting systemic vascular risk. - No specific doses, studies, or population-level data are cited — his caution is based entirely on personal adverse experience.

“Taurine also has effects on the microvasculature that, at least for me, were not good. It caused bursting of microvasculature in my sclera, in my eyes, which is why I'm not a fan of any energy drink that has taurine or taurine generally.”
