STUDY: Taurine is a key nutrient that promotes longevity and good overall health

But research shows that taurine concentrations in the blood naturally decrease with age. This is problematic in terms of health as low taurine levels have been linked to several age-related conditions, such as retinal degradation, hypertension and decreased immune functions. In animals, a significant decline in taurine levels also accompanies age-related changes, suggesting that taurine deficiency could be a driver of aging.

In a new study published in the journal Science, ...
