A deficiency of taurine—a nutrient produced in the body and found in many foods—is a driver of aging in animals, according to a new study led by Columbia researchers and involving dozens of aging ...

The amino acid taurine appears to improve health and extend the lifespan of worms, mice and monkeys, according to a new study, though further research is needed to confirm whether it can do the same ...

In a basic science study last year, researchers discovered that taurine, available in energy drinks and as a supplement, feeds the growth of leukemia stem cells. A new study recently published by the ...

Taurine, a dietary supplement, is in the news because of a paper in the journal Science that showed multiple beneficial effects in mice (anti-aging, mental health, weight loss, etc.). Normally, I'm ...

Fact checked by Nick Blackmer Taurine is making headlines after a study linked it to leukemia, a blood cancer.Leukemia cells may use taurine to grow, but this doesn’t suggest that taurine causes ...

Cancer researchers at the University of Rochester linked taurine to increased risk of cancers. See what energy drinks do and don't contain it.

Aging is an inevitable part of living. But inevitable as it is, many are keen to find ways to reverse – or at least slow – it. A new study found that a naturally occurring amino acid was linked to the ...

Taurine deficiency may be a driver for aging, according to a new study, which evaluated the amino acid’s effect on health and longevity across several animal models. According to the authors, ...

(CNN) — Taurine, an amino acid often used by body builders and added to energy or sports drinks, may be an “elixir of life,” according to the author of a new study — at least when it comes to ...

We lose levels of the amino acid taurine as we age, with experiments in mice and monkeys suggesting that supplements could reverse this loss to keep us healthy and potentially even extend our lifespan ...

You might want to hold off on stockpiling taurine supplements as part of your anti-aging cocktail. Research published today failed to find evidence that our levels of taurine shrink as we get older, ...
