Magnesium Taurinate is a chelated form of magnesium combined with taurine, an amino acid, and is sometimes used as a dietary supplement to support cardiovascular health, including arrhythmias. There is scientific rationale for magnesium supplementation in some arrhythmias because magnesium is an essential electrolyte involved in cardiac conduction and rhythm stability. Hypomagnesemia (low magnesium) is a recognized risk factor for arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation and ventricular arrhythmias. Clinical guidelines support magnesium supplementation for arrhythmias caused by magnesium deficiency, particularly in settings like torsades de pointes.

However, specific evidence for magnesium taurate (the salt of magnesium and taurine) is limited. Most clinical studies and guidelines refer to magnesium in general (often as magnesium sulfate or other salts), not specifically magnesium taurate. A few small studies and animal research suggest taurine itself may have anti-arrhythmic effects, possibly augmenting magnesium's actions, but robust human clinical trials using magnesium taurate for arrhythmia are lacking. Thus, while the theoretical and mechanistic rationale exists, direct scientific validation for magnesium taurate in arrhythmia treatment is weak.

In summary, while magnesium supplementation can help treat certain arrhythmias—particularly if deficiency is present—the specific use of magnesium taurate for arrhythmia is not strongly supported by clinical evidence, earning a modest evidence rating.
