Micronutrients & recovery
Taurine supplementation improves health span metrics in middle-aged mice, including reduced body weight gain, improved bone mass and strength, enhanced muscle endurance and strength, reduced anxiety, improved memory, better glucose homeostasis, and ameliorated immune cell prominence.
Taurine supplementation in middle age may support overall health, including bone, muscle, and metabolic function. While human trials are needed, these findings suggest potential benefits for healthy aging.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
Taurine treatment suppressed age-associated body-weight gain by ~10%... increased bone mass... improved femur maximal load and stiffness... increased muscle strength... showed less depression-like behavior... had lower glucose concentrations... decreased the number of white blood cells, monocytes, and granulocytes
Why this rating
Robust animal data with multiple functional assays.
