Specifically for CTS it will help balance electrolytes which in turn can help reduce soft tissue swelling (the cause of the numbness pressing on the median nerve).
But overall, taurine is just an awesome supplement everyone should take (especially if on cycle). It's one of the few supps that IS NOT a waste of money. I take 10 grams over the course of a day while on cycle and 3-5 when cruising. Super cheap and safe too. You can't really OD on it, your body will just piss out what it doesn't use.

Core Benefits of Taurine
1. Pumps & Cramp Reduction (especially on tren/DHB)
Taurine helps regulate intracellular calcium and improve muscle cell hydration.
That translates to:
- Less lower back pumps
- Less calf/quad pumps
- Reduced cramping
- More sustainable high-volume training
2. Cardiovascular Health
Taurine has a surprisingly strong effect on:
- Blood pressure (mild but measurable lowering)
- Improving arterial function
- Reducing oxidative stress
3. Insulin Sensitivity & Glucose Regulation
Taurine improves:
- GLUT-4 translocation
- Insulin sensitivity
- Mitochondrial efficiency in muscle cells
4. Increases Cell Hydration (volumization)
Taurine acts similar to creatine in that it helps “pull” water into cells, improving:
- Recovery
- Pump
- Muscle fullness
- Resistance to fatigue
5. Nervous System & Stress Regulation
Taurine acts on GABA and glycine receptors — meaning:
- Mild calming, anti-anxiety effect
- Improved sleep quality
- Reduced overstimulation from caffeine/yo/stims
6. Liver Protection
Taurine improves bile acid conjugation and protects hepatocytes.
7. Electrolyte Balance
Taurine helps balance:
- Sodium
- Potassium
- Calcium
- Magnesium
