Taurine
Its finest result came in company: paired with astragalus it drove viral genetic material in heart tissue lower than either achieved alone.
What the evidence shows
Every line below is carried on the blend page that makes the claim. Follow it to the pathway and its sources.
An amino acid abundant in the brain, taurine calms overexcited neurons by opening GABA and glycine channels, so firing never tips into harm.
Abundant in muscle and heart, taurine steadies calcium handling in each contraction and guards against oxidative wear, so endurance lasts longer.
Supplementing it extends lifespan in worms and mice and healthspan in monkeys, dampening mTOR and reducing cell aging, mitochondrial failure, DNA damage and age-related inflammation.
Over twelve weeks taurine lowered clinic systolic pressure 7.2 mmHg against 2.6 on placebo, and — the harder test — 24-hour ambulatory systolic 3.8 against 0.3.
In mice and cultured cells, taurine lowered senescence markers and the SASP (SA-β-gal, p16/p21).
