Taurine acts as an osmolyte and participates in bile-acid conjugation, calcium handling and membrane stability. Human trials support vascular and cardiometabolic effects, while claims about autophagy, aging hallmarks and lifespan rely mainly on animal and cellular evidence.
Purpose, evidence and practical considerations.
Taurine was generally well tolerated in the short human trials reviewed, but evidence for long-term high-dose use is limited. It may add to blood-pressure- or glucose-lowering treatment. Energy drinks and pre-workout blends also contain caffeine and other ingredients and should not be treated as evidence for isolated taurine.
