L-Taurine

L-Taurine is an amino acid that plays a crucial role in cellular health and has shown promise for promoting longevity. Studies in mice indicate that taurine supplementation can extend median lifespan by 12%. In human data, higher taurine levels have been associated with healthier biomarkers, including lower BMI, reduced glucose levels, lower C-reactive protein (an inflammation marker), and a reduced prevalence of diabetes. Interestingly, taurine levels also increase after exercise, linking it further to metabolic and overall health
