Description
The scientific report suggests taurine plays a role in reducing cellular senescence - where cells in the body stop dividing - a hallmark of aging. Taurine - a nutrient found in meat, fish and sold as a supplement - extends life and boosts health in a range of animal species, scientists say. Levels of taurine decline with age in different species, including people. The researchers say taurine may be an "elixir of life" - but topping up levels in people has not been tested.

Taurine is a conditionally essential amino acid that is not utilized for protein synthesis but is mainly found free in most tissues, especially throughout the nervous system. It functions in tissues by stabilizing cell membranes and aiding the transport of potassium, sodium, calcium, and magnesium in and out of cells. Taurine helps to generate and regulate nerve impulses and supports the maintenance of normal fluid balance; it is also used by the body in visual pathways, as well as in the brain and nervous system, where it works together with glycine and GABA as a neurotransmitter.
It is also an important amino for anyone who exercises! Taurine performs many vital functions in the body, but its role in maintaining electrolyte balance makes it particularly important for athletes or anyone who participates regularly in strenuous physical activity. Electrolyte balance impacts your daily health regardless of activity level—maintaining healthy levels of important minerals such as sodium, calcium and potassium is needed to promote healthy bones and arteries. An effective antioxidant, taurine supports the body’s defense systems, helps maintain mitochondrial health, and promotes the integrity of cell membranes, all key aspects of longevity and healthy aging.
