>1000 mg per kg body weight

1g/kg body weight daily of ANYTHING is A LOT. 0.1% of your entire bodyweight.

What's interesting is I checked Wikipedia and found:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taurine

>accounts for up to 0.1% of total human body weight

>The mean daily intake from omnivore diets was determined to be around 58 mg

So this study is adding the entire amount found in a typical human's bodyweight every day.
