Researcher Vijay Yadav told Newsweek that the nutrient can be found in several popular food and drinks.
The team also found that taurine levels increase as a result of exercise, particularly in those with an active lifestyle."No matter the individual, all had increased taurine levels after exercise, which suggests that some of the health benefits of exercise may come from an increase in taurine," Yadav said.
Exactly how much taurine is required to see significant health improvements is still unclear."The human equivalent doses for what we have used in mice would be 6 grams or 3 grams per day," Yadav said."Shell fishes have the highest levels of taurine and even there the levels are roughly 1mg per gram weight, so if one eats 500 grams of shellfish you get 500mg.
"We also need to remember that after ingestion there will be loss of taurine in the digestive tract during digestion and absorption." While this study provides exciting insights into the potential roles of taurine in aging, more work is needed to determine how and if taurine supplementation could be used to"The next stage of this research is a randomized placebo-controlled taurine trial in multiple populations to find out whether a taurine intervention will work in humans as well as it does in animal models," Yadav said.
