Abstract
A method of administering taurine comprises a filtration medium which contains powdered taurine, a breakable capsule which contains a taurine solution or a spraying mechanism. Squeezing or spraying the filtration medium distributes taurine solution in the filter so that it can be picked up by passing air. Powdered taurine may also be provided in the filtration means so that powdered taurine is introduced into the stream of air. Rupturable capsules containing water or other aqueous solution may also be included in the filtration medium with a person in the environment deciding whether to crush the capsules for a humidified administration of taurine solution, or not to break the capsules for the administration of dry taurine into the air.
