Supplement taurine to enhance metabolic syndrome markers
A 2024 meta-analysis found that taurine supplementation improved fasting blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol, but had no effect on body weight.
Supplement taurine to extend lifespan in worms and mice
In reproducible experiments, taurine supplementation extended the lifespan of worms by up to 23% and the median lifespan of mice by up to 12%.
Monitor taurine levels to combat age-related decline
Scientists noted that taurine concentrations in the blood of elderly people decreased by more than 80% compared to younger individuals.
Supplement taurine for weight management and bone health
After six months of supplementation, monkeys taking taurine gained less weight, had improved bone density, better insulin sensitivity, and less DNA damage.
Address reproducibility crisis in cancer research
Biotech company Amgen attempted to replicate 53 landmark cancer studies but was only successful in 11% of the cases, highlighting a major issue in research.
Combine magnesium taurate for effective taurine supplementation
A practical way to supplement taurine is by taking magnesium taurate, a form that combines both magnesium and taurine in a single compound.
