Mindsip insights from this episode:
Supplement taurine to maintain muscle strength with age
Even if taurine doesn't decline with age, intervention studies show that supplementing with it can still help maintain muscle strength compared to a placebo.
Analyze taurine findings through longitudinal studies
The discrepancy in taurine findings is due to study design, with more reliable longitudinal studies (tracking the same person over time) contradicting older cross-sectional data.
Reevaluate taurine levels as they may increase with age
New longitudinal research suggests that, contrary to previous beliefs, taurine levels may actually rise over the lifespan in humans and monkeys.
Prioritize cause-and-effect studies on taurine supplementation
Cause-and-effect studies on taurine supplementation are more important than data on its natural levels, as they directly show benefits regardless of age-related changes.
Boost leg strength with higher blood taurine levels in women
In women, greater blood taurine levels are associated with better leg strength, although this same link was not observed for grip strength.
