> It is pleasant tasting, easily dissolves in water, and is almost dirt cheap, as amino acid prices go. I bought 300 grams bulk powder for something like 12 bucks.
300 grams is almost exactly 2/3 of a pound.
You can convert a weight of taurine to a volume of taurine, in the following manner.
Put your bulk sample into a measuring cup, and get it settled right down to the smallest volume. That measurement will allow you determine how much weight would go into one teaspoon of the product you have purchased.
E.g. Let's say my 300 gram bottle of powder filled the measuring cup up to the 2 cup mark. That's all you need, to do the following:
First, convert the number of cups you just discovered to teaspoons. There are 48 teaspoons per cup (US), or, if measured in metric, 5 mL per teaspoon.
My example gives 2 cups times 48 teaspoons per cup, equals 96 teaspoons. (note: the cups cancel out of the equation)
Divide the weight of the powder by the teaspoon count.
Using my example, 300 grams has a volume of 2 cups = 96 teaspoons, you'll get:
300 grams divided by 96 teaspoons yields 3 1/8 (3.125) grams per teaspoon.
I usually dose at around 2 grams, so a healthy half teaspoon of that powder would do the trick. I've bought really fluffy crystals of taurine, and really dense heavy ones, from different suppliers. One product measured out to about a half teaspoon per dose, and another measured out to two teaspoons per dose. You have to do the math. Sorry.
