Taurine, a naturally occurring sulfur-containing amino acid, has potential health benefits in aging and cardiovascular health, athletic performance, metabolic regulation, and neurological function. Evidence suggests that taurine may have positive effects on blood pressure regulation, cardiac fitness, and vascular health. Its mechanisms of action and antioxidant properties make it a promising candidate for anti-aging strategies. However, further research is needed on taurine intake and safety concerns.
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.
