The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

Taurine, an amino acid, extends 🐁 lifespan 10% at human equivalent doses of 2.5-5g a day.
Daily supplements of the amino acid seemed to extend the lifespan and improve the health of taurine-deficient mice https://t.co/9A6csaExAC
In a 2023 study, also published in Science, researchers found that levels of taurine seemed to decline in mice, monkeys and humans as they aged
the other research done by the group looking at mice and primates and worms in terms of life extension with torine is also particularly compelling
blood concentrations of torine decline with age in mice monkeys and humans
the title of the study is toine deficien as a driver of aging and coming across this study was probably one of the most important driving factors for me to do this podcast thinking okay here's clearly a study showing that in animal models across species supplementing with torine improves aging this is a nutrient found only in animal Foods how can animal foods be bad for longevity it doesn't make any sense right so you can see here in the abstract they say blood concentrations of torine decline with age in mice monkeys and humans to investigate whether this decline contributes with aging we orally fed torine or a control solution once daily to middle-aged wild type female and male mice torine fed mice of both sexes survived longer than the control mice the conclusions here torine abundance decreases during aging a reversal of this decline through torine supplementation increases healthspan and lifespan in mice and worms and healthspan in monkeys
there's evidence the taurine a nutrient that I've been enamored with recently which has been studied across multiple species and improves longevity in worm models in mice and in primates
they also found that when they gave torine to monkeys the monkeys were healthier longer
so they decided to give toine to mice lo and behold the mice lived longer and they were healthier
there's evidence that torine a nutrient that I've been enamored with recently which has been studied across multiple species and improves longevity in worm models in mice and in primates
There was a really big study in 2023 got a lot of press across multiple species showing the torine declined with aging and torine supplementation actually extended the lifespan of mice.
A new study set off a media storm over taurine’s potential in delaying aging and extending lifespan.
