L-Taurine is an organic chemical compound and an amino sulfonic acid, produced naturally by the human body. It can also be found in foods such as red meat, dark poultry meat, shellfish, and more. As a supplement, L-Taurine is said to improve cardiovascular function, as well as features of the brain, retina, and skeletal muscles. Animal studies have also demonstrated an increased lifespan and healthspan.

What is L-Taurine?
Taurine is a type of chemical called an amino sulfonic acid. It occurs naturally in the body. The best food sources of L-Taurine are meat, shellfish, eggs, and dairy.
Because there are few plant-based foods which contain Taurine, people who are vegetarian or vegan may need a Taurine supplement.
Taurine is an amino acid found throughout our tissues. It's a component of bile. Taurine is necessary for organs and systems (specifically nervous and immune) to function well.
How Does L-Taurine Work?
Taurine is a sulfur-containing amino acid that is not involved in protein synthesis but is essential to cardiovascular function and the development and function of the brain, retina, and skeletal muscle.
A small amount of Taurine is produced in the liver, but under certain conditions it may not be enough to meet all of our functional needs. Taurine can also be obtained directly from certain foods like beef, dark-meat poultry, and shellfish. The amount of Taurine humans produce declines as we age.
Taurine improves cardiovascular health, lowers blood pressure, and may improve lipid levels.
Mice studies have shown that daily supplementation with Taurine increased healthspan and extended lifespan by around 12%.
Another effect of Taurine is an average of 10% increase in effectiveness during exercise.
