Abstract
Taurine, a naturally occurring sulfur-containing amino acid, has attracted significant attention in recent years due to its potential health benefits. Found in various foods and often used in energy drinks and supplements, taurine has been studied extensively to understand its impact on human physiology.
Determining its exact functional roles represents a complex and multifaceted topic. We provide an overview of the scientific literature and present an analysis of the effects of taurine on various aspects of human health, focusing on aging and cardiovascular pathophysiology, but also including athletic performance, metabolic regulation, and neurological function.
Additionally, our report summarizes the current recommendations for taurine intake and addresses potential safety concerns. Evidence from both human and animal studies indicates that taurine may have beneficial cardiovascular effects, including blood pressure regulation, improved cardiac fitness, and enhanced vascular health. Its mechanisms of action and antioxidant properties make it also an intriguing candidate for potential anti-aging strategies.

Taurine vs Metabolic Syndrome
Have had multiple visits to the cardiologist and the ER I found Taurine and it has been a lifesaver for me. I’m able to calm down my heart rhythm fairly quickly. Thanks,
After reading about taurine, I started taking 500 mg a day. Combined with the carnivore way of eating, my blood pressure is low about 120/65. I'm 72.
My senior dog started having seizures at age 11. among other supplements he's getting Taurine every day. He's been seizure free since March 2023 now and he's almost 15 now.
I've been taking Taurine for about a year. I'm 68 and have not treated my body well over my life. I have increased muscle mass after losing it quite quickly over the last few years due to a world illness but the biggest is my stamina. I dance hard twice a week. Actually I went last night and was literally the last person dancing in a room of a hundred mostly young people. I get so many comments about "where do I get my energy and stamina?" I reckon it's past the point of placebo and I'm not a particularly hyper or overly active person generally. Oh and don't get any stiffness or sore muscles after which I used to get. Interesting.....
I've been giving it to my dog for years for a healthier heart because they don't get enough especially in a grain free diet. I take it too. Good talk! 😊
I do supplement taurine, 4g per day. Either all in one go before heavy exercising, or 2x 2g if I'm having an easy day. This is an absolute S tier supp, just like creatine. I'm 35 now (and not far from being in the best shape of my life, just after having a decade-long obesity episode), an frankly - it just makes my body work as if I were 23.
