Taurine

Amino acid for cardiovascular health and longevity.

Overview

Taurine is an amino acid abundant in the heart, brain, and muscles. Recent research links taurine levels to aging—levels decline with age, and supplementation may support cardiovascular and metabolic health.

Our take

Taurine research is exciting, especially the longevity angle. 1-3g daily is typical. It's very safe—your body already has lots of it. Don't be put off by its association with energy drinks.
