Tier 2 — promising · Cardiovascular · Metabolic · Aging

Body taurine declines with age. A 2024 review of 20 trials (808 people) found it significantly lowers resting heart rate (~3.6 bpm) and blood pressure (~4 mmHg) and improves cardiac pumping. A 2023 Nature study linked higher taurine to healthier aging in animals. Supports muscle function and cellular energy. Very safe with no serious side effects reported.
