Higher Taurine Intake in the Diet Correlates with Some Measures of Strength in Middle Age – Fight Aging!

Taurine is an amino acid commonly found in fish and meat, not essential but synthesized in humans. Aging leads to a decline in circulating taurine levels. Studies show taurine supplementation might slow aging. Recent research looks at the correlation between taurine intake and fitness in middle-aged individuals. Human studies suggest a supplement dose of 1.5-6.0 grams per day to counter the decline in taurine levels. The study found that higher taurine intake was associated with increased knee extension muscle strength in participants aged 65 and older. This indicates that taurine intake in the diet may influence strength and fitness levels, especially in older adults.
