student who co-wrote the perspective with Baur. It is involved in many biological processes, from helping absorb fats, to controlling a cell's volume to ensuring proper protein production in the mitochondria that power every cell, said Joseph McGaunn, a Penn MD/Ph.D. Taurine is produced by the human body, mostly in the liver. "I see it becoming one of the highest priority molecules for human testing," said Joseph Baur, who was not involved in the new study, but wrote an accompanying perspective article and is a professor of physiology at the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine. Still, other researchers are enthusiastic about the findings.

To figure that out will take a large, yearslong, very expensive clinical trial giving some people taurine and others a placebo. Once we have a human intervention trial, we will know whether there's a fire or not," said Wackerhage, adding that neither he nor any of the study's authors received any funding from producers of taurine or related products. What's not yet clear is whether taking taurine supplements will make any difference for human health or lifespan. "Taurine somehow seems to hit the engine room of aging," said Henning Wackerhage, a co-author and professor of exercise biology at the Technical University of Munich. Middle-aged monkeys, too, lived healthier lives for longer after receiving taurine supplements, according to the study, published Thursday in the journal " Science". Older mice whose levels of taurine are "topped back up" to youthful levels lived 10% to 12% longer and were healthier, leaner, had denser bones and were less likely to be depressed. The study also looked at a group of 12,000 people and showed that those with low taurine levels were more likely to be ill. Levels of taurine, which are made in the body and eaten in food, naturally decline with age. If making a post asking for the easy way out on learning about a compound, most likely you will just be linked to as it is less work for us.īe sure to read the /r/fitness/wiki/faq if your post is about diet/fat loss/gaining muscle.The amino acid taurine appears to improve health and extend the lifespan of worms, mice and monkeys, according to a new study, though further research is needed to confirm whether it can do the same in people. Prior to posting, please review the compound on a science-based website like rather than asking for vague 'educate me on.' posts.
If you make a claim about a supplement and get called out on it be prepared to either cite your source or logically defend your stance.īroscience is accepted as it can lead to new theories and discoveries, but it must be clearly stated it is broscience or 'feel'. Although subjective, any posts in which there is suspicion of being affiliated with a supplement company may result in banning after various considerations (contribution to community, relevance to discussion, unforeseen context, etc.) are looked at. It is acceptable to talk about which companies and suppliers you like but unacceptable to spam for them. (Basically, talk with us about something don't be a pretentious anti-supplement douche)Īnything talking about supplement companies is a grey area which must be ventured cautiously. Repeated offenses or notably excessive offenses are subject to banning. However, discussions or rants declaring a supplement or supplement regimen useless based on emotion and naturalistic fallacy rather than science or logical caution are subject to moderation. Discussion on the relative pros and cons for supplementation are accepted and encouraged. This is a subreddit designed for supplements, so obviously most users will be biased for supplements. This is to help reduce spamming in the subreddit if you wish to discuss your brand name supplement, simply list the ingredients and dosages, not the brand name.
