What it does
Taurine is an amino acid the body makes and gets from meat and seafood. It is involved in bile salt formation, cellular hydration, and nervous system function. A widely covered animal study linked taurine deficiency to faster aging.
What the research says
May support healthy aging markers
Evidence: emerging. A 2023 animal study drew attention; human data is essentially absent. Needs verification.
May support exercise performance
Evidence: weak. Very limited human data. Needs verification.
DRAFT: interesting animal work, near-zero human outcomes data. This is a watchlist grade, not a buy grade.
Is it worth it?
DRAFT: cheap, but you are paying for animal data and hope until human trials arrive.
Typical cost
$8-12/month
