I am 86. I have been supplementing with taurine for at least two decades, at about 850 mg/day. I just recently passed 80,000 miles of cycling in retirement on my road bike. I am wondering if this level of taurine supplementation could be having a positive effect on my aging (??)
Why did I start supplementing with tauring 20 years ago, you ask. Taurine is lacking in a plant based diet and I was getting off the standard American diet and going whole food plant based. Taurine is lacking in most plants. It has many functions -- abundant in brain and heart. @@derekmcqueen4589
I take 2 grams and I'm 32. You need more by age and since there are basically no risk, you should up the dose as much as you feel is good. Start with 3 grams! Look at Modern Healthspan for guidance.
I am 69 years of age. I started taking 3 grams of Taurine, daily, 6 months ago. I feel stronger, more agile and sharper in my thought processes. It appears to work for me and I will carry on taking it. I feel more self-assured in ways I cannot quantify, I feel my reaction time and all round perspectives are akin to when I was forty. I am generally a fit person and have done manual work all my life, so I feel I have a head start in regards to fitness levels.
After learning about taurine only a few months ago, I started taking 3gm/day. I’m a small person, only 5’. I had become diabetic in 1999 and use 70/30 type insulin. Quite shortly after taking taurine, a few weeks I’d estimate, I gave myself as much insulin as I thought I’d need in the evening and woke up with low blood sugar (58). I can feel when that happens and it does wake me up, however it’s been a couple of years since I’d experienced low blood sugar. It happened a few more times so I’m careful not to give myself too much insulin. It seems clear to me taurine is the key 🔑. I’m 81, do remember this is my experience and I will continue on this path. I choose things this way: is it an experiment worth doing and this is an experiment worth doing for me.
Yes, I'm 64 and take 500 mg a day. But it has also helped my dog who has epilepsy and has been on Epiphen since being diagnosed. Unfortunately after 2 years it has stopped working so knowing it's safe for dogs and it's good for brain dysfunction I started her on it on December 15th and she hasn't had a seizure since. I have posted these findings on my RUclips channel (Just Kidding) and I'm doing regular updates for anyone else's dog that's on medication for epilepsy and it's stopped working. I'm very happy with the results.
I've been supplementation of 4 grams of taurine daily for the last 10 weeks 2 days. I've also been taking 8 grams of GlyNAC to restore my glutathione levels. And 4 grams of creatine. I'm feeling better and am making good strength gains at the gym. I'll be 71 end of this month.

I used to take taurine daily. I am restarting to see if it helps my heart. Originally I started taking taurine to see if it would help my tinnitus. Honestly, I do not think it did. I gradually got up to taking 10 g per day. I personally did not notice any side effects; however I stopped taking it and also did not notice any difference. Thanks for the video.
Taurine was recommended for me to use as a diuretic to help lower my blood pressure. I would always spike a bit [170/80]. After a few days, I started seeing regular spike numbers regularly. A few weeks later I had my yearly checkup and my blood pressure was through the roof [ 216/102]. I never in my life had any sign of‘white coat syndrome’. After a bit of research I found that studies had been done,and as it turned out, only 5% of the female population can tolerate extra taurine. The rest of us get excessively high blood pressure. In stead of a benefit I am now happy if I get a reading of 170/80. So please attach a warning to women
Thanks. I recall Prof Yadav (Taurine Study) say that people who were in better health also had higher taurine levels. Yes, this is a correlation, but it prompted me to look for a taurine test. Turns out there is an established reference range in blood plasma for taurine and one can get tested as part of an amino acid profile. My test results are due soon. At 69 I've been taking a low dose (500 mg) of taurine for about 10 years as research suggested vascular benefits. I stopped taking it for a week prior to recent test, and plan to adjust my supplementation to bring into the upper part of reference range. Don't think it's wise to just extrapolate from mouse data and start blindly taking 6 grams a day. BTW, I was lucky in that I am almost vegan (11 years), just eat a little fish, maybe 2 cans of wild sardine a week, otherwise plant based with very little ultra processed food. So my taurine intake, supplements aside, was not high.
@@wellinever1558 using the iollo test it was 100 micromolar, but am a little uncertain about test, so will use an amino acid profile from LabCorp next time, in November, and do it after a couple of weeks of no supplements and a well documented diet. 100 micromolar is pretty good for my age, suggesting I don't need to supplement to a significant degree.
I am looking at Taurine and L-Arginine for my continuous A-Fib. The Beta Blockers and Calcium Channel Blockers are just destroying me with muscle pain and weakness.
When I was studying human muscle protein synthesis back in the 1980s I was surprised to discover a very high level of free taurine stored in muscle cells. This was puzzling to me because in those days I thought its primary use was only to synthesize bile salts to facilitate fat absorption. I thought it was a "sink" to store excess sulfur from the amino acids methionine and cysteine which are toxic at high concentrations. At the time I did not know about all the other metabolic and physiologic uses and myriad health benefits of taurine. BTW I think the reason blood taurine rises during excercise is because of increased release from this muscle store due to increased blood flow through tissues of the large muscles.
Thank you very much for including slides in your presentation. That greatly enhances both viewing and note-taking. I hope you will continue to do that in future videos. And the slides need not originate in studies; you can make your own. They really enhance understanding!
OMAD or intermittent fasting and extended fasting kills senescent sells, no drugs needed. I tried metformin for anti-aging, felt horrible on it. I did try Sirolimus (Rapamycin) while in Mexico (I'm in my 40s) and I will say, that drug made me feel 20 years old again but the protocol was to take it once a week and I found that 3 days after a dose I'd get a horrific flare up of inflammation and brain fog (to the point I couldn't figure out what city I was in) so I probably needed to dose more often but there was no research to guide me in that so I stopped taking it. I'd also rather get my inflammation in check first.
Keep the mitochondria well fed for it produces energy for the whole body, eat chlorella and spirulina, Maybe the we can produce our own needed supplies
theres a machine at my gym called an S-force matrix and I do high intensity intervals on it, similar to hill sprints but easier on the joint. The first time i used i was almost passing out and almost needed to vomit from the exertion. I did i 3 times a week and by the second week i could go as hard as i wanted and i couldn't get the same muscle burn or loss of breath like the first and second time. I have been fit in the past but i'm curious what changes happened in my system to suddenly be able to tolerate that level of effort in my thighs which are the biggest muscle groups in the body. More mitochondria or suddenly waking up more of them, maybe they suddenly store more of the substances they need to function when more demands put on them. PS its 2023, you would think there would be more devices you can use while training to tell you what ur body chemistry is doing while you train or if you do physical work....ie do you need more, sugar, or are you dehydrated? maybe ur low on B vitamins. u put a sensor on ur tongue or u pee on a strip. Maybe you have a sensor implanted in ur belly that reads what ur blood is doing like those wearable blood glucose monitors CGM (Continuous Glucose Meter) I'm very disappointed they aren't subsidized by health care, atm they are $900 and you need a new attachment each month which is $400 in my state. Obesity is first worlds number one problem, 80% covid hospitalizations obese. PPS docs only pushed the Vax which barely worked and countless injurys yet zero push for supplements like this. D vitamins at least.
Citicoline (Cognizin) has some evidence supporting its use to offset cognitive decline. The NIH has published some studies in this regard. I use 250 mgs a day and noticed improvement in memory after a couple of weeks. Waiting on my order of taurine to arrive. Could be interesting.
Hm, am I calculating it right? 1000 mg per kg would mean that an average person should have around 80 grams of taurine per day in order to observe similar effects (if we count only body-mass as a relevant indicator)... That doesn't sound very sustainable.
I started a low dose, but I think (not 100% sure) it made my BP go too low (I am on some BP meds). Does anyone know if taurine has an effect on BP? THX
Good morning, I am thinking of trying taurine. I do how ever need to know if it would interfere with other products I have taken for years. I take Magtine, D3,red algae, turmeric, berberine,cucermin, do you know?
I had that exact same thought just this morning. I think that it absolves the presenter of responsibility for negative outcomes in the case when it doesn't work for you. See "I told you more research is needed"
Twenty percent of people can not convert beta carotene to retinal A, which we all need. Only twenty percent of people can convert enough to fill all their needs. And retinal A comes from animal products. In order to make vitamin D from the sun, you need Cholesterol. Unfortunately, that's to the food industry and big pharma push of the still never proven lipid hypothesis, most people do not get enough. Not just vegans. Cholesterol is needed for making and regulating all hormones. Which is why the Korean Cholesterol Mortality Study, published in 2019, showed that when Cholesterol levels dropped below 200, the death rate for everything increases hard and fast. Over 12 million subjects. This is just the yip of the iceberg against veganism and the semi vegan death diets pushed by governments, the food industry, etc.
I know Lgluatmine can be broken down pretty easy by the liver into sugars as needed to regulate blood sugar. I wonder if taurine is similar. Did you call a chemist or ask ur doctor about kidneys and taurine?
Wow impressive ! This is why I stopped being vegan.Just last year we weren't even aware how essentianl all those nutrients are and science is still evolving.There is SO much we don't know.
public health supposedly a priority and they jack the cost of dairy meat eggs up more than a third. they blame the economy but then here they are banning cage eggs and banks are selling off cattle farms for the carbon credits. Gov not ur friend. Construction workers super high suicide rates, yet they don't get given this sort of information, BetaAlinine and Taurine and creatine and B vitamins are pretty cheap and super good for strength and endurance yet they aren't told anything. Even basics like get 2grams protein per kilo body mass.
Not answered; if current high protein diet and modest excersize; is super supplimentation anti aging OR is just supplimenting from a DEFICIENT intake level beneficial. We are stuck in the loop of some is good more is better trap. Need specific research on super supplimention of all the nutrients benefits anti aging or not. It may be 2-5gr is detremental if you are at a good status re your high grass finished meat diet??? TBD and this vid didn't clearify. Tnx tough! Best to all.
great question. I don't have any studies to show one is better than the order. Folks following a plant based diet don't get enough so often times supplementing is good. Most supplements are synthetic taurine.
I think this doctor just made a positive argument for a carnivore or ketovore diet especially for older folks. How about eating carnivore and use a good multivitamin for substitute for fruits and veggies...maybe safer than isolating taurine and risking nasty side effects.
You can (ferment) veggies and fruits!!! See Dr. Sean O’Mara NEW Study: FERMENTING Fruit Veggies Makes PolyPhenols More Effective, Eliminates Carbs & plant Toxins
I really appreciate your videos. Thank you!! Being mostly plant based, you definitely got my attention here. If you happen to have any favorite supplement brands, please ket us know (maybe in another video?) 😊
Cats and dogs are being supplemented daily as it’s added in pet food, and many furry friends tend to live 15 years and longer if we’ll cared for, so it seems pretty safe and effective. Additionally taurine is produced by the body, so it’s not a foreign compound.
According to another posting I watched about taurine benefits. You can start supplementing at any age, but the best results seem to be from the over fifties.
DR. HASHMI. First time viewer. 7-30-2024. I learned of Taurine one week ago. I have some specific questions, please Sir. I am not taking it for Age……although I will be turning 80 in 3 weeks. I, also, am not taking it for the several diseases I have. I AM taking it for my eyes which are heading me towards giving up driving within a year or so because of several eye diseases. I have been taking 2000 mg per day. Now, my questions : Is Taurine something that I ought to see an IMMEDIATE response ? I have NOT. Or, do you feel that Taurine is not going to have any help FOR my eye diseases at all ? ( Google says Yes. YOU may say No. ) Again, I have only been taking it for a week. Please, please respond, as I stay in a panic about my eyes. Thank you !
Being in panic about you eyes, is a good reason for you to start on Taurine 1gm orally twice a day. There is a preparation specific to the eyes called ( magnesium taurine B6 and zinc ) all in one capsule. If you decide on taking the eye supplement, then another 1gm of taurine is all what you need.
@@mamdouh-Tawadros Please let me ask, then…….Already I take 1,000 mg. TWICE a day. I already take zinc and I already take 4,700 mg.of Magnesium per day. I use an alternative doctor on the side who does kinesiology and he is the person who told me the specific amounts to take. As for the Taurine, I have been on it…….maybe a month…….and so far NO changes. I researched how long it might take to get into my system……research says it goes to work immediately. So, I am disappointed. Please ! Any more advice is GREATLY appreciated ! Thank you!❤️
@@mamdouh-Tawadros When I responded to you last night, I was really hoping that you would give me the brand name of the supplement with everything in one pill……that you use. I did not have success going to Amazon. Thank you !
@@carolcole570 some of the changes specially on the eyes, you might not see it, or feel change, but it acts on a cellular level. As for optimal results on the eye, use the combined capsule (which you family doctor approve of it) . Then instead of taking two capsules, use only one.

Taurine is available in many foods and feeding mice such a high doses and then measure the reaction doesn't say much of a smaller amount taken by human beings it seems to me. Americans are very focused on supplements, perhaps because they eat not very healthy with a lot of fast- and junk food. Most old people I know here and like me are still volkdancing and in their eighties( I am only 77) hardly take any supplements and are fine.Ofcourse we also get age related conditions but I guess, to die healthy at the end, will not happen anyway.
You might be interested to know that the oldest people living down in Okinawa, that are in their 80-to-100+ years old, who eat the traditional ancient diet, eat a lot of NORI seaweed everyday. They put it in everything! And NORI seaweed is loaded with taurine. That's why they live healthy for so long!
What's the translation of 1 gram per kilogram of mice to humans? A 180 grams or 6 oz of steak worth of protein in one simple amino acid doesn't translate for me. Can someone please clarify?
What is the effect of taurine on the brain? Children with epilepsy do well when taking 5gm daily in divided dosage. Taurine has an positive effect on the liver, hence found in ox bile, will it also reduce NAFL?

I’m sure there’s gonna be all kinds of different answers. Thanks in advance.😅
I used to take taurine daily. I am restarting to see if it helps my heart. Originally I started taking taurine to see if it would help my tinnitus. Honestly, I do not think it did. I gradually got up to taking 10 g per day. I personally did not notice any side effects; however I stopped taking it and also did not notice any difference. Thanks for the video.
i'm taking taurine in powder form :) it's very cheap as a food additive. couldn't be more than 10 cents a day.
The price is going up…
Can you talk about Kidney Scarring😢😢plz
Is it safe to take Taurine if you have CKD stage three?
For those of us that used beta alanine, taurine is a life saver. Because if you didn't know, beta alanine can reduce taurine in the body.
so dr hasmi what is recommended amount of taurine for stage 3a ckd and 73 years old
I took taurine and it gaveme a terrible headache. Any thoughts on why?
Very interesting. Thank you.
Taurine was recommended for me to use as a diuretic to help lower my blood pressure. I would always spike a bit [170/80]. After a few days, I started seeing regular spike numbers regularly. A few weeks later I had my yearly checkup and my blood pressure was through the roof [ 216/102]. I never in my life had any sign of‘white coat syndrome’. After a bit of research I found that studies had been done,and as it turned out, only 5% of the female population can tolerate extra taurine. The rest of us get excessively high blood pressure. In stead of a benefit I am now happy if I get a reading of 170/80. So please attach a warning to women
Would love to hear the replies in this regard.
Not the taurine
What is your basis for saying it's not the taurine? There are several studies indicating that.
I read somewhere that taurine lowered bp. Maybe you have other issues. Maybe.
How much taurine should i take? My t4 is very high and I have fibromyalgia.
Can u keep the slides of information on for longer please
Thanks for the information. Where do you purchase it?
Thanks
Thanks. I recall Prof Yadav (Taurine Study) say that people who were in better health also had higher taurine levels. Yes, this is a correlation, but it prompted me to look for a taurine test. Turns out there is an established reference range in blood plasma for taurine and one can get tested as part of an amino acid profile. My test results are due soon. At 69 I've been taking a low dose (500 mg) of taurine for about 10 years as research suggested vascular benefits. I stopped taking it for a week prior to recent test, and plan to adjust my supplementation to bring into the upper part of reference range. Don't think it's wise to just extrapolate from mouse data and start blindly taking 6 grams a day. BTW, I was lucky in that I am almost vegan (11 years), just eat a little fish, maybe 2 cans of wild sardine a week, otherwise plant based with very little ultra processed food. So my taurine intake, supplements aside, was not high.
What was your level
@@wellinever1558 using the iollo test it was 100 micromolar, but am a little uncertain about test, so will use an amino acid profile from LabCorp next time, in November, and do it after a couple of weeks of no supplements and a well documented diet. 100 micromolar is pretty good for my age, suggesting I don't need to supplement to a significant degree.
As a nephrologist, would you hesitate to recommend taurine for CKD3?
Dr. Jason Fung is a nephrologist. Check his research and findings concerning protein (foods containing taurine) in CKD.
I am looking at Taurine and L-Arginine for my continuous A-Fib. The Beta Blockers and Calcium Channel Blockers are just destroying me with muscle pain and weakness.
take 3,000 mg per day of Taurine and walk in the sun without shirt for 1 hour per day,
Great information
Great information highly appreciated 👍😁🎊
Thanks very much Sean. Excellent information. Liked and subscribed. James J Walsh in Limerick city Ireland 🇮🇪
When I was studying human muscle protein synthesis back in the 1980s I was surprised to discover a very high level of free taurine stored in muscle cells. This was puzzling to me because in those days I thought its primary use was only to synthesize bile salts to facilitate fat absorption. I thought it was a "sink" to store excess sulfur from the amino acids methionine and cysteine which are toxic at high concentrations. At the time I did not know about all the other metabolic and physiologic uses and myriad health benefits of taurine. BTW I think the reason blood taurine rises during excercise is because of increased release from this muscle store due to increased blood flow through tissues of the large muscles.
Thank you very much for including slides in your presentation. That greatly enhances both viewing and note-taking. I hope you will continue to do that in future videos. And the slides need not originate in studies; you can make your own. They really enhance understanding!
Thanks for the feedback. Yes, that is the new style I am trying to make it better to understand.
Taurine gives me lose stools, and that is why I at the age of 84, M, can’t take it. Any suggestions on how to manage that side effect?
I have Taurine in a food grade powder, how would any suggest I take it? Do you add it to liquids, such as coffee or what else could I add it to.
OMAD or intermittent fasting and extended fasting kills senescent sells, no drugs needed. I tried metformin for anti-aging, felt horrible on it. I did try Sirolimus (Rapamycin) while in Mexico (I'm in my 40s) and I will say, that drug made me feel 20 years old again but the protocol was to take it once a week and I found that 3 days after a dose I'd get a horrific flare up of inflammation and brain fog (to the point I couldn't figure out what city I was in) so I probably needed to dose more often but there was no research to guide me in that so I stopped taking it. I'd also rather get my inflammation in check first.
Is this the same as magnesium taurate?
It has taurine.
How many lab mice on taurine do I need to eat to get the full benefit?
6
Still a class clown? I noticed they were only interruptions for the rest of us trying to learn. One kid I knew from childhood is in prison for life.
It's 8 I do believe Karen. Since I increased my Taurine from 6 to 8 mice I feel much stronger.@@karenf9137
It WAS funny though😂
Generally safe for kidney disease? What labs to look for or talk to your dr about? ckd dose?
Keep the mitochondria well fed for it produces energy for the whole body, eat chlorella and spirulina, Maybe the we can produce our own needed supplies
theres a machine at my gym called an S-force matrix and I do high intensity intervals on it, similar to hill sprints but easier on the joint. The first time i used i was almost passing out and almost needed to vomit from the exertion. I did i 3 times a week and by the second week i could go as hard as i wanted and i couldn't get the same muscle burn or loss of breath like the first and second time. I have been fit in the past but i'm curious what changes happened in my system to suddenly be able to tolerate that level of effort in my thighs which are the biggest muscle groups in the body. More mitochondria or suddenly waking up more of them, maybe they suddenly store more of the substances they need to function when more demands put on them. PS its 2023, you would think there would be more devices you can use while training to tell you what ur body chemistry is doing while you train or if you do physical work....ie do you need more, sugar, or are you dehydrated? maybe ur low on B vitamins. u put a sensor on ur tongue or u pee on a strip. Maybe you have a sensor implanted in ur belly that reads what ur blood is doing like those wearable blood glucose monitors CGM (Continuous Glucose Meter) I'm very disappointed they aren't subsidized by health care, atm they are $900 and you need a new attachment each month which is $400 in my state. Obesity is first worlds number one problem, 80% covid hospitalizations obese. PPS docs only pushed the Vax which barely worked and countless injurys yet zero push for supplements like this. D vitamins at least.
Citicoline (Cognizin) has some evidence supporting its use to offset cognitive decline. The NIH has published some studies in this regard. I use 250 mgs a day and noticed improvement in memory after a couple of weeks. Waiting on my order of taurine to arrive. Could be interesting.
Hm, am I calculating it right? 1000 mg per kg would mean that an average person should have around 80 grams of taurine per day in order to observe similar effects (if we count only body-mass as a relevant indicator)... That doesn't sound very sustainable.
Watch The Sheeky Science Show, Vijay Yadav said its 3-6 grams a day for 80kg person. He's the one who done the study I think.
@@kiranbala90great.. as I’m taking 5 grams a day .
Can we do labs for our Taurine? If so which one?
I started a low dose, but I think (not 100% sure) it made my BP go too low (I am on some BP meds). Does anyone know if taurine has an effect on BP? THX
YES, It lowers BP
Apparently not in most women, unfortunately studies show it increases our bp. So disappointing.
Do you think someone with 3a CKD would be able to take say a gram a day without issue?
I don't mind the 'thanks" button....i like it, in fact....but what i DON"T like is apparently it blocks/removes the "save" widget.....oy
Is taurine safe for CKD patients?
Overall, I am not aware of any harms from taurine in CKD patients. But always, check with your doctor if you are going to take it.
Good morning, I am thinking of trying taurine. I do how ever need to know if it would interfere with other products I have taken for years. I take Magtine, D3,red algae, turmeric, berberine,cucermin, do you know?
Make sure to take vitamin K2/mk7 with your vitamin D3. It’s puts the calcium in your bones, not in your blood vessels
Great video thanks. Would you say it was ok to get more Taurine in your system,say from energy drinks that contain Taurine or knot Thanks?
😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why is it that most research studies always end with "needs further research"?
Money. They get payed for each research. New research=new funding= more money coming in.
because can't study on a billion people at a time. Unless mandate it with threat of loss of livelyhood.
Because that's how reql science works. Actual science is about truth, not jumping to conclusions that we think sound nice
I had that exact same thought just this morning. I think that it absolves the presenter of responsibility for negative outcomes in the case when it doesn't work for you. See "I told you more research is needed"
So if you have to supplement this (and vitamin B12) on a vegetarian diet, seems that this is not the optimal human diet people like to believe.
Twenty percent of people can not convert beta carotene to retinal A, which we all need. Only twenty percent of people can convert enough to fill all their needs. And retinal A comes from animal products.
In order to make vitamin D from the sun, you need Cholesterol. Unfortunately, that's to the food industry and big pharma push of the still never proven lipid hypothesis, most people do not get enough. Not just vegans.
Cholesterol is needed for making and regulating all hormones. Which is why the Korean Cholesterol Mortality Study, published in 2019, showed that when Cholesterol levels dropped below 200, the death rate for everything increases hard and fast. Over 12 million subjects.
This is just the yip of the iceberg against veganism and the semi vegan death diets pushed by governments, the food industry, etc.
I haven't eaten meat in 10 yrs. I do a 50 lb dumbbell routine and do 145 seated rows and pull downs at age 66 female.
@ do you take supplements such as B12?
SHOULD YOU TAKE TAURINE IF YOU HAVE KIDNEY DISEASE, THANK YOU FOR THE INFO.
I know Lgluatmine can be broken down pretty easy by the liver into sugars as needed to regulate blood sugar. I wonder if taurine is similar. Did you call a chemist or ask ur doctor about kidneys and taurine?
Is taurine safe for person with ckd stage 3?
Wow impressive ! This is why I stopped being vegan.Just last year we weren't even aware how essentianl all those nutrients are and science is still evolving.There is SO much we don't know.
Exactly, as our understanding of the subject changes so does the “science”.
Most already knew that. Just some vegans didn't...
They are learning simple nutrients can renew your cells of your body.
Yes carnitine is another nutrient which is looking increasingly beneficial - also from animal sources.
public health supposedly a priority and they jack the cost of dairy meat eggs up more than a third. they blame the economy but then here they are banning cage eggs and banks are selling off cattle farms for the carbon credits. Gov not ur friend. Construction workers super high suicide rates, yet they don't get given this sort of information, BetaAlinine and Taurine and creatine and B vitamins are pretty cheap and super good for strength and endurance yet they aren't told anything. Even basics like get 2grams protein per kilo body mass.
is Taurine safe for kidney disease at any stage?
Not at 5 stage
What is the best dosage for an adventurous person, and should one have it on an empty stomach or with meals? Please advise me
Take on empty stomach for best Absorbsion.
How much/ A teaspoon, tablespoon per day? Thanks. @@miltonfoster154
3-6 grams a day
Thanks, @@lolodee3528
thanks
Not answered; if current high protein diet and modest excersize; is super supplimentation anti aging OR is just supplimenting from a DEFICIENT intake level beneficial. We are stuck in the loop of some is good more is better trap. Need specific research on super supplimention of all the nutrients benefits anti aging or not. It may be 2-5gr is detremental if you are at a good status re your high grass finished meat diet??? TBD and this vid didn't clearify. Tnx tough! Best to all.
Intermittent Fasting helps and it’s so easy to do.
Which one is better, natural or lab made taurine?
great question. I don't have any studies to show one is better than the order. Folks following a plant based diet don't get enough so often times supplementing is good. Most supplements are synthetic taurine.
Can CKD1 person take?
Every expert has their own secret on how to live longer. Is it taurine, glycine, dhea, melatonin, dha, etc etc, etc...?
What about Taurine in red bull?….. is red bull ok to have ….? Since it has laws caffeine then coffee (sugar free version)
Bro
It's krap
Do any insects contain taurene?
I think this doctor just made a positive argument for a carnivore or ketovore diet especially for older folks. How about eating carnivore and use a good multivitamin for substitute for fruits and veggies...maybe safer than isolating taurine and risking nasty side effects.
Taurine can be found in plant sources high in protein like beans, legumes and nuts. Vegans are consuming Taurine as well.
You can (ferment) veggies and fruits!!! See Dr. Sean O’Mara NEW Study: FERMENTING Fruit Veggies Makes PolyPhenols More Effective, Eliminates Carbs & plant Toxins
Does this mean that we should eat more meat as we age?
🌿Thank You🌿Will share!
🌿👑🌿GOD BLESS🌿🕊🌿
It is in Red Bull
So what?
@@jorgeluisrodrigues1322 So what what.
Thankfully, nowadays, Taurine is made synthetically, and not anymore from Bull’s testicles/bile. Otherwise, I wouldn’t take it.
I really appreciate your videos. Thank you!!
Being mostly plant based, you definitely got my attention here. If you happen to have any favorite supplement brands, please ket us know (maybe in another video?) 😊
I am 146. I have been supplementing with gogoboline for at least 4 decades, at about 1225 mg/days. I just passes gas!!!
Respectfully I think it is far too early to raise the possible use of taurine for humans based on one study with mice
Cats and dogs are being supplemented daily as it’s added in pet food, and many furry friends tend to live 15 years and longer if we’ll cared for, so it seems pretty safe and effective. Additionally taurine is produced by the body, so it’s not a foreign compound.
Many so-called "energy drinks" contain added Taurine, so humans are already widely using Taurine supplements. Is that a good idea? Hard to say.
You do you bro bro 😂
Who is stopping you from not taking it?
N equals 1. use it and see what it does for you
Is 83 to late to start taking Taurine?
According to another posting I watched about taurine benefits. You can start supplementing at any age, but the best results seem to be from the over fifties.
DR. HASHMI. First time viewer. 7-30-2024. I learned of Taurine one week ago. I have some specific questions, please Sir. I am not taking it for Age……although I will be turning 80 in 3 weeks. I, also, am not taking it for the several diseases I have. I AM taking it for my eyes which are heading me towards giving up driving within a year or so because of several eye diseases. I have been taking 2000 mg per day. Now, my questions : Is Taurine something that I ought to see an IMMEDIATE response ? I have NOT. Or, do you feel that Taurine is not going to have any help FOR my eye diseases at all ? ( Google says Yes. YOU may say No. ) Again, I have only been taking it for a week. Please, please respond, as I stay in a panic about my eyes. Thank you !
Being in panic about you eyes, is a good reason for you to start on Taurine 1gm orally twice a day. There is a preparation specific to the eyes called ( magnesium taurine B6 and zinc ) all in one capsule. If you decide on taking the eye supplement, then another 1gm of taurine is all what you need.
@@mamdouh-Tawadros Please let me ask, then…….Already I take 1,000 mg. TWICE a day. I already take zinc and I already take 4,700 mg.of Magnesium per day. I use an alternative doctor on the side who does kinesiology and he is the person who told me the specific amounts to take. As for the Taurine, I have been on it…….maybe a month…….and so far NO changes. I researched how long it might take to get into my system……research says it goes to work immediately. So, I am disappointed. Please ! Any more advice is GREATLY appreciated ! Thank you!❤️
@@mamdouh-Tawadros When I responded to you last night, I was really hoping that you would give me the brand name of the supplement with everything in one pill……that you use. I did not have success going to Amazon. Thank you !
@@carolcole570 some of the changes specially on the eyes, you might not see it, or feel change, but it acts on a cellular level. As for optimal results on the eye, use the combined capsule (which you family doctor approve of it) . Then instead of taking two capsules, use only one.

Is Taurine safe for someone with kidney disease and on dialysis?
That's a question you need to ask your doctor
Read the best seller MEDICAL MEDIUM !! god bless
Every day more and more research proving low carb and or carnivore diets are the healthiest lifestyle for longevity.
@@UnknownMale565species appropriate diet for 5 millions years humans are apex predators all fruits and vegetables that exist today are man made (all of them) everything a human needs is contained in meat a human needs nothing from plants that they can’t get from meat, how about cite your sources that they are not healthy? And please have them be controlled studies no food questionnaires and studies that count lasagna as “red meat”
Lmao.
Truth.
Blue red honesty
I can't imagine anyone watching this video needing to be sold on avoiding aging.
Taurine is available in many foods and feeding mice such a high doses and then measure the reaction doesn't say much of a smaller amount taken by human beings it seems to me. Americans are very focused on supplements, perhaps because they eat not very healthy with a lot of fast- and junk food. Most old people I know here and like me are still volkdancing and in their eighties( I am only 77) hardly take any supplements and are fine.Ofcourse we also get age related conditions but I guess, to die healthy at the end, will not happen anyway.
So many Docters ,sprook about TAURINE. PLEASE WHY CAN'T WE MERE MORTALS GO SUPER MARKET, AND PHARMACYS ETC ETC
i do not see any scientific study/paper reference in the description section!
Its in the video. Here is the reference for you: doi.org/10.1126/science.abn9257

What's the translation of 1 gram per kilogram of mice to humans? A 180 grams or 6 oz of steak worth of protein in one simple amino acid doesn't translate for me. Can someone please clarify?
Terrible stomach cramps and diarrhoea after 2 days on Taurine
