--Are there like protein sources (powder) from seafood?
Sounds gross...............

Tired of this frozen crap, 90 dollars in canada. Bread and garbage... is like 50 bucks in toronto (I don't eat that, but sometimes need to buy it for guests).

Maybe people close to sea. But even then it is too expensive for most people. That's why just taking cheap aminos in free form like taurine is a good idea for sure..

Single amino acids is not always good. Maybe if you know what you are doing and for a limited time only.
Look what happens if you take alanine single for too long, or lysine, arginine, histidine etc.
I think there are ratios as well and if you continuously bring them out of balance even if on purpose, like for herpes, you can change things. Not always for good.
But if you are taking about free form / hydrolised protein sources, I agree. But sh't they are too expensive for me.

I don't see how taking some EAA where are all essential aminos in doses like 500mg per serving can be a problem.. But hydrolyzed whey + hydrolyzed collagen will be the best I think.. I am using proteins from here. Hydro 80 DH32 | Hydrolyzát syrovátkového proteinu 1 kg 459 Kč | 4fitness.cz best ratio of price/quality by far.. Almost like bulksupplements from US.. I am using this one protein. Just good quality CFM whey for very good price. You can even buy 20kg bags... 20 kg pytel proteinu CFM 80 instant - syrovátkový | 4fitness.cz Same amount of this protein but from some brand packed in 2kg buckets + flavorings, thickening agents etc.. will cost like 5x times more..

i dont trust supplements.. you NEVER know what is in them for real... i used to be a supplement junkie ...now i am the opposite... a clean quality food ''junkie'.. if i think back... i think my health was beginning to go downhill when i began taking vitamin pills, minerals pills, protein/carb powders, amino powders

I agree, but whey protein is just whey. Whey is food... Btw I have the exact opposite experience. In comparison with other people I was eating perfectly with ZERO results. In fact i think that I was "ok" for so long with bad digestion etc.. due to using protein powders. So my body still had at least amino acids.. When I stopped it become a shit show.. Same with hydrogen water. You can call it supplement but it saved my ass..
The first thing what I would recommend to people in bad health with bad digestion etc. is good quality hydrolyzed whey protein. "real food" like meat even wild/organic etc.. is useless if you can't digest it.. So all this "supplements are evil and only real food is good" mindset is very short minded..

Quality shrimp is very tasty but the price is ridicilous .. almost 6 euros for 200g in my country.

It's not only just about aminos though this study just happen to pop up referencing taurine/glycine. Seafood you get the minerals and electrolytes etc. in high balanced amounts with it (selenium, zinc, copper, magnesium, sodium, potassium etc.) so overall it is very good for metabolism. Just by supplementing taurine isn't good for the long run you will deplete other aminos and you will be missing out on minerals.

Yeah, I agree depending on where you live it can be expensive.

I get fresh stuff although I live near the water. Do you have better options during the summer/spring time?

So what do you suggest? Spending all money on serving of sea food a day. Instead just eating other foods rich in minerals etc. and here and there take some taurine? Really? Nobody is saying that people should take 10g of taurine and eat frozen pizza all day. For A LOT of people is sea food out of range. So they can eat best diet as possible and add some taurine. How some 500mg serving every day or every other day along with other foods can be dangerous.. + I don't think that any specific food is necessary for good health.

I agree it is tough, if you can't do daily try at least a few times a week (shrimp, prawn, scallops, clams, oysters etc.) and then just do dead sea salt baths a few times a week too. That should be plenty in terms of getting in minerals and electrolytes.

I don't know I guess so. Right now just in western canada but not coastal so... it's not the best. Resteraunts are fine... but at the market, just smoked salmon is all I really trust. There probably are places, but I don't know where the butchers/fish mongers are.

In Toronto, I'm sure there's great fish around.... I just don't know how to cook it usually. Also get lost in markets all the time, and am confused - but that's a different problem lol.
I can get some scallops I guess when I'm back there. When I visit ny/nj should be easy (family there -- like half are health obsessed too).
