About
Taurine is the most abundant free amino acid in the heart, stabilizing cardiac cell membranes and providing anti-arrhythmic effects. A 2018 meta-analysis of 7 RCTs found taurine at 1,000-6,000 mg/day reduced systolic blood pressure by 3.1 mmHg. A 2023 Science study demonstrated taurine supplementation extended healthy lifespan by 10-12% in animal models, with cardiovascular aging as a key mechanism.
How It Works
Stabilizes cardiac cell membranes by modulating calcium and potassium channel activity providing anti-arrhythmic effects; acts as an osmolyte maintaining cardiomyocyte volume; conjugates bile acids enhancing cholesterol excretion; antioxidant activity through direct scavenging; modulates the RAAS reducing blood pressure; enhances cardiac contractility through calcium sensitization without increasing oxygen demand.
