@Outdoctrination: The animal-based, anti-aging n...

The animal-based, anti-aging nutrient you aren't getting enough of.

It protects the brain, reduces inflammation, stress, insulin resistance, and might even grow your hair.

The benefits of TAURINE are boundless:

Taurine extends lifespan.

Taurine levels drop with age,

but giving animals taurine increases lifespan by >10%, halting the signs of aging such as:

→ Increased DNA damage
→ Telomerase deficiency
→ Impaired mitochondrial function
→ Cellular senescence

Taurine increases brain metabolism, therapeutic for dementia.

Taurine acts in the brain by:

✪ Improving mitochondrial function
✪ Reducing inflammation
✪ Acting as a calming neurotransmitter
✪ Being an antioxidant

all of which help maintain brain function + metabolism.

In fact, taurine's neuroprotective effects improve recovery from stroke.

Administering taurine alleviated the brain damage lesions from stroke (seen in light gray/white).

It is particularly concentrated in the brain.

Taurine increases dopamine.

The cells in the brain that produce dopamine are susceptible to inflammation and oxidative damage.

Taurine protects these neurons by reducing the activation of the brain's immune cells (microglia).

This increases dopamine production.

Taurine also improves insulin resistance.

3g per day:

» Lowered HbA1c
» Lowered triglycerides
» Lowered insulin

&

» Raised HDL
» Lowered blood sugar

when combined with resistance training.

(T - Taurine, TP - Training + placebo, TT - Training + taurine, C - nothing)

Taurine powerfully lowers oxidative stress and inflammation.

3 grams a day:

• Improves mitochondrial function
• Increases heat production
• Enhances insulin clearance
• Up-regulates antioxidant enzymes

Levels are low in diabetics, but adding it back can help a ton.

Taurine protects hair.

It was shown to:

⬨ INCREASE hair growth
⬨ Improve hair structure
⬨ Protect against follicle death

The hair follicles are particularly susceptible to damage, inflammation and energy deprivation.

Taurine fixes that.

Taurine even reduces blood pressure.

High blood pressure is primarily driven by stress + insulin resistance.

Taurine acts as a critical anti-stress neurotransmitter that also supports metabolism.

Thus, it improves this condition.

Taurine is a powerful digestive healing tool.

Taurine levels are low in people with inflammatory gut issues, but supplementing it:

• Halts inflammation
• Reverses leaky gut (intestinal permeability)

Making it a powerful tool for gut issues.

Taurine prevents gut infections.

Heavy antibiotic usage can leave the gut predisposed to opportunistic pathogenic growth.

Taurine:

✯ Improves immune function
✯ Regulates gut bacteria
✯ Prevents colonization

thus improving the gut bacterial environment.

Taurine is a blood sugar balancer

If you can't get in between meals without crashing, your blood sugar could be unstable,

often due to impaired storage in the liver.

Taurine:

➤ DOUBLES liver glycogen
➤ Lowers blood sugar
➤ Acts "like insulin"

& fixes the issue.

Taurine prevents gallstones.

Taurine is a primary component of our bile acids.

When we don't get enough they get "stuck," forming stones.

Supplementing it back prevents this.

20% of people have them.

~1,000,000 people in the US get their gallbladder removed every year.

How does taurine work?

Our mitochondria underlie our health at the most fundamental level.

There are a few ways that taurine improves our mitochondrial function:

1. tRNA

Our mitochondria have their own DNA, and thus require a component for their use - known as tRNA.

Taurine is a component of mitochondrial tRNAs, which allows the creation of our energy producing mitochondrial proteins.

2. Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress from free radicals not only directly damage our mitochondria but also are a signal for them to stop churning out energy.

Taurine acts as an antioxidant by improving mitochondrial function, which gives a positive feedback loop to continue churning out energy.

3. Calcium regulation

High levels of calcium flooding mitochondria is a good way to ruin how they function.

Taurine acts as a buffer for excess calcium, ensuring our mitochondria don't get overwhelmed and shut down.

Taurine as a neurotransmitter.

Taurine prevents the excess excitability in tissues, essentially calming them down.

Excess excitation in the brain is common in things like seizures, anxiety, or just feeling scattered.

In the heart or blood vessels, this can cause problems with contraction and relaxation.

Taurine activates both the glycine and GABA receptors, opposing this excitation.

Here is a list of the foods highest in taurine:

Supplementing taurine:

Doses in these studies range from a few hundred to a few thousand milligrams.

I think starting at ~500 mg and seeing how you feel is a good start.

Taurine is awesome, but it probably won't be enough to truly achieve your health goals.
