TAURINE Potential: Take It to REVERSE Your Aging? 

🛑Taurine is crazy. Want Taurine protocols from the latest research? WellnessMessiah.com/Longevity

Been taking 2g twice daily for two years plus, not saying it's a bad thing but don't hold your breath folks, I'm 60 and still watching the mirror ( :

I have been taking taurine. I'm going to try to quit fighting with the othe mice.

A pinch of Taurine is also a potent tool for hampering racing thoughts and acting as a mild relaxer for sedation.

Perfect timing I just received my taurine yesterday And increased my dose this morning I’ll be following you carefully on this topic Thank you Hoping your wife is steadily healing

Interesting study, great video, thx. I'm 63, and I've been taking 1g powdered Taurine daily for three months. I'm less interested in longevitiy than other possible benefits. I'm rehabbing a nagging neck/shoulder issue, working carefully with light weights, body weight only as well- Granted, this is subjective, but I've been pleasantly surprised how quickly I've begun regaining at least some muscle mass & tone. Research continues :)

Two considerations: The study lead has mentioned that older people why have higher taurine are in better health suggesting a possible causal link. This leads in the second point - test taurine level. Amino acid panels are available and they include taurine. Test, then tweak taurine supplementation to get to the 20 to 30 year old level. This will likely be a lot less taurine than just blindly following the 3 to 6 gram conversion from mice. At 69 yo my level is at the 40 yo per the study human graph.

Monaco, Japan, Maldives all have one thing in common. They have the highest life expectancies and eat the most seafood. Seafood also has the highest amount of taurine. You might be onto something!

Here are the key points made in the video, attributed to Rimon, with the correct spelling of the supplement: 1. Rimon introduces the concept of "taurine," a nutrient produced naturally by the body. He has been researching longevity since 2007 and finds this molecule particularly exciting because its levels decrease with age, and recent studies suggest it can extend lifespan by 12%. 2. Rimon discusses a 2023 study on "taurine" using male and female mice. The study found that "taurine" increased lifespan in both sexes, which is significant because many longevity molecules only increase lifespan in one sex. The median lifespan increase was 10 to 12%, the largest life extension seen from any available nutrient or natural supplement (excluding diet). 3. The study used a large number of mice (246), which is significant for a lifespan study. Rimon notes that some mice were removed from the study due to fighting, leading to a sociological observation about the fighting habits of male and female mice. 4. If the results of the study were to be translated to humans, the equivalent would be an increase in the average lifespan from 80 to 90 years. However, Rimon cautions that translating results from mice to humans is difficult. 5. The second discovery discussed in the video is related to maximum lifespan. "Taurine" not only increased the average lifespan but also the maximum lifespan in mice. In human terms, this could mean an increase in the maximum lifespan from 80 to between 94 and 100 years. 6. Rimon discusses the age at which "taurine" supplementation was started in the mice. The mice were fed "taurine" from the age of 14 months, which is equivalent to the age of 40 in humans. Rimon wonders what the effect would have been if supplementation had started earlier. 7. The fourth discovery is that it took 20 years of "taurine" supplementation in human equivalence for the nutrient to show mortality reduction. This suggests that "taurine" targets aging, a slow process in the body. 8. Rimon discusses the dose of "taurine" given to the mice and how this can be translated to humans. The dose given to the mice was 1,000 milligrams per kilo of body weight daily, which would be equivalent to 4 to 8 grams per day for humans. This is a high dose of chronic "taurine" supplementation. 9. Rimon notes that lower doses of "taurine" were also effective in increasing lifespan, but the highest doses yielded the maximum longevity benefits. However, there is likely a threshold beyond which "taurine" ceases to offer longevity benefits. 10. Rimon discusses the timing of "taurine" supplementation. In the study, "taurine" was given to the mice in a single daily dose, dissolved in water for oral administration. This suggests that if humans want to replicate the study's approach, they should take all the "taurine" at once daily with water, probably on an empty stomach. 11. Rimon notes that the study did not delve deeply into the side effects of "taurine" supplementation. However, one potential side effect is that high-dose chronic "taurine" supplementation may prevent mTOR (a mechanism for accumulating protein and amino acids necessary for muscle growth) from becoming fully activated. This could potentially impact exercise and fitness results. 12. Rimon concludes that while "taurine" supplementation could potentially preserve youth and extend longevity, more research is needed to fully understand its effects and potential side effects. It's also important to consider how "taurine" may affect exercise and fitness results. Rimon invites viewers to join him in exploring these questions in future videos.

This man is an excellent teacher. I am subscribed.

Taking 6gr 8 years now slowing down the aging process and with plant based diet +15years weight training and doing alternative fasting with 42 years old feeling strong and healthy as y was 30 never has a cold or energetic downfall. Highly recommended it

Thank you for looking into taurine, Rimon! This is another fantastic video. I've been taking 3g/day of taurine for months now, spread out over 3 doses through the day, but I may double that up now. I'm also going to switch some of the magnesium I take into the form of magnesium taurate, to get a little extra per day. I'm looking forward to future videos on taurine as well as other molecules such as quercetin!

I am 66 living in Lisbon lots of sun 🌞exposure during the year eating a lot of sea foods my Vitamine D levels are 100 ng/ml I am always tanned avoid supplementing with synthetic Vitamine D3 supplements and I never used sun protection during my life my skin is still great 👍

You gave the wonderful information of taurine with clear and concise science knowledge. Thank a million. I already subscribed to your channel. I will watch all your videos.

1g taurine gets rid of the calf stiffness I got on steroids, my calves would get such a pump from going for a walk that it was hard to walk 1/2 a mile; on taurine that problem (really the only side effect I got) doesn't occur. This isn't age related, I was in my early 20's the first time I did a real cycle.

Please consider doing supplement brand reviews. I'm amazed at how many people recommend supplements, but we never point out the supplement companies that use genuinely high quality ingredients.

Probably the best video I've seen on the topic. Great work!

Great breakdown, looking forward to your follow-up videos!

Thanks for the video. I have sen the study and I am taking taurine for about 3 months by now. However, you make one conclusion you cannot derive from the data: about needing to take taurine for twenty years before. That is an interpretation of the data, not a fact. It can very well be, that before that time, taurine supplementation doesn't do anything simply because the body still makes enough by itself. Continue the good work!

Taurine: Lifelong supplementation led to a 12% increase in median lifespan. Aspirin: Extended the median lifespan of male mice by 8%. Rapamycin: Increased lifespan by 14% for females and 9% for males. 17-α-Estradiol: Extended the median lifespan of male mice by 12%. Acarbose: Increased median and maximum lifespan by 22% and 11% respectively in male mice. Nordihydroguaiaretic Acid (NDGA): Increased median lifespan by 12% in male mice. Protandim: A dietary supplement containing a patented mix of five herbal ingredients. GlyNAC (Glycine and N-Acetylcysteine): Corrected glutathione deficiency, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, abnormalities in mitophagy and nutrient sensing, and genomic damage. Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN): Mitigated age-associated physiological decline. SRT1720: Extended the lifespan of mice on a standard diet by about 9%.

Another brilliant analysis

Taurine is known as the Wonder Molecule because it's our largest amino acid, and the secret behind longevity in the Blue Zones. It's because they are big pork and seafood eaters in Sardinia and Japan, the best sources of taurine, making them some of the oldest living people. It's also the secret to healthy brain, eyes, liver, and heart.

*MATH BRAINS HELP ME OUT HERE:* According to what you stated was in the study, 1000 mg per kg of body weight is what was used in the mice trials. So, for a 160 lb. man you must divide 160 by 2.2 to find the kilogram equivalent. That = 72.73 kg for 160 lbs. Thus, we must then multiply 72.73 kg of body weight by 1000 mg = 72,730 mg of Taurine daily or *72.72 grams daily* not 6 grams! Where are you getting your 6 gram number you list at the marker: 9:51 ?

I’m a senior. This is what I’ve found with taurine. I take it and I also drink 2 owyn (not affiliated) pro elite 32 gram protein shakes a day. I also eat nutritious fruit and meat and low amounts of carbs. I’m not as hungry and the weight has just melted off. I know one factor in longevity for the elderly is consuming less food. My guess is taurine reduces appetite and as a result fat reduced weight reduced and longevity increased.

Terrific video! Great explanation of the studies & their implications for Human supplementation. I remember reading that Taurine downregulates GABA receptors over time, which may not be what you want. Perhaps a short break from megadosing would be advantageous?

I take around 2g of NAC and 15-20g of glycine most days. I remember reading that these supplements have a similar effect to Taurine and therefore no point in adding it. I’d be interested to know if this is correct information.

Best video I've seen on taurine so far; can't wait for the sequel. Liked and subscribed.

Taurine also has the same receptor as Beta Alanine and it is also considered for longevity. At least the molecule Carnosine the Beta Alanine converts to is a very potent for longevity. How would you compare Taurine and Beta Alanine in their effectiveness for longevity?

I like your science backed evidence. Thanks.

Great overview. I took taurine up to 10g per day spread out. I did this for I believe a few months. I was seeing if it impacted my tinnitus and hearing. I personally did not notice any acute negative side effects. I gradually increased my taurine intake up to 10mg. I used powdered bulk taurine. This is just my personal observations. Check with your health care professionals. I stopped taking taurine but I recently restarted at 2g powdered taurine. I think it is important to keep a checklist to track intake. Just make an excel sheet or something. It may be helpful just for your own knowledge. Thanks for this review.

I had severe muscle cramping when taking one capsule a day of a Mag. Glycimate 75 mg, Taurine 375 mg and CO10 combo. But I did feel energetic and highly motivated. Stopped , but might try eating a full meal and then taking the combo.

If I took every supplement I've seen recommended to preserve youth on RU-vid, I'd be taking 50 pills a day. How do we know which ones are truly necessary? And how do we know when we're taking too many supplements?

I was considering it, and then i thought..🧐…from the look of things, do i really want to be here in 100 years😱

Great content. You are addressing topics few others are delving into. Thank you for being a cut above. I’ve been hoping for such an explanation of taurine and it’s affects.

It's always a bad idea to take ANY solo nutrient in high doses. Especially amino acids as they work best in harmony with each other.

Nice video. I'm a new subscriber. Thank you.

Hi Rimon. I commented under your last update video. Try these peptides Selank, Semax and BPC-157 nasal sprays for BDNF and stroke recovery. In the acute phase I heard that methylene blue should help the brain survive. Maybe it helps also with recovery. All the best and merry Christmas ❤

I was going to not watch the video of the name of the channel, then I read the disclaimer: he is NOT the messiah, but uses the name to make it more memorable. Thanks for the disclaimer. Was just about to tune out.

I have had skin disease from last 3 years. I started with ayurvedic medicine. It did work, but only 50% . Then, I read a book on vitamin, about taurine. Then, I realised that, in COVID period, I was sick trice. Due to that, I have acidity. This acidity 1st control by potassium, but potassium is very less, so taurine started working in place of potassium. Taurine is produced in body using B6. Thus, there is B6 defeciancy, which resulted in skin disease. After reading this, at different pages in the book, I started eating walnut, thus my skin disease cure. Again there is skin disease. At this time, no use of walnut. I approached a Unani Dr, who is MD in skin (Unani). He started eczema treatment, but no use. One day my skin becomes pink colour at affected part. I took photo and send to him. Then, he prescribed Liver tonic (Unani). Now, my skin cured. Yesterday, I listen a video on taurine, in that, it is mentioned that, taurine also detoxify Liver. Means, this time also, taurine is responsible for my skin disease.

Im taking a taurine/ magneisum suppliment. so far, so good.

Note mouse improvements do not usually seem to translate them same percentage wise to humans - so we should not get too optimistic perhaps? Even so - this is very encouraging. I would like to see it in combo with fasting etc and as said from an early age too.

You got it sir. Subscribed.

So, would you want to not take a dose on work out days? Or take it after a workout? What do you think?

I eat hemp seeds - that contains taurine, along with the other aminos

Ive been taking care of myself by eating relatively healthy and exercising my whole life never been a heavy drinker , never did drugs or smoked - im about to turn 64 my pic is very recent and 100% un filtered , i take 5 grams of creatine daily also resveritrol and taurine ,i have been practicing HIT training full body and now eat much lower carb - i m stronger than i was in my 20s which is crazy but true, i do have arthritis in my back and knees which hampers what excersizes i can do , but other than that i feel wonderful ~

Great video, cheers 👏👏

I've been taking taurine now for 30 seconds and I already have amazing energy and I literally look five years younger.

I have been taking high dose taurine for 6 years , so far so good , 5 - 12g daily , 38 male, 7 porcent bf , ripped and look 28, maybe its working . Does not effect musle gain at all , but it does make your metabolism faster , do to ppry activation , so you need to eat a lot more to gain weight .

thanks for the report about the paper. The effect on mTor was new to me. Based on that it could be supportive to inject it in a higher dose into a period of time restricted feeding, or a fasting period after 18h+. I knew about taurine in a different context, as a protector of mitochondrial membrane and one of the main scavengers of ROS within the mitochondria. It also improves beta-oxidation and handling of fatty acids. Note that it naturally usually comes with meat, hence that would make some sense. That also would direct Taurine as a supporting\enhancing agent specifically for a low carb diet. And indeed, some years ago, when my diet contained quite some more carbs (40% cal) than today (25% cal) the immediate effect (2g/d) was getting tired, as the metabolism was directed away from Glucose fueling. Taurine was invoking a mini keto flu, I guess. Given that profile I would not cycle on\off, but cycle the dosage, with a lower dose during times of food intake. Taurine is not easily or quickly washed out I think.

A wild guess why it's not promoted, because it's a commodity product that can't be patented. No money there. Also the fact that it suppresses mTOR is very impressive, since mTOR is the master switch for aging. Suppressing m-TOR once you're no longer young and growing is exactly what you want (it's good when you're young, bad when you're older).

What's the logic about dividing the per kg dose with 12.3 for humans? I'm almost 140 kilo, so I have to take 11 grams? Do you have to work up to the dose or can you just take the full dose from day 1 ? edit: This is interesting, I subscribed cause I wanna hear more about it!

Thank you this covers many bases and is very informative for someone considering the risks and considerations before taking a supplement....

Taurine has a laxative effect on me, on an empty stomach. Is there a remedy for this side effect?

IT WORKS! I put the smartwatch in a can of taurine and after 10 days it counts backwards.

I'm confused about 1 thing in your video... If the Taurine was added to the water, it doesn't seem likely the mice consumed the entire dose all at once. Don't mice tend to sip on the water all day long? If so, the Taurine was taken in much smaller dosages throughout the day. Am I misinterpreting that?

Awesome video!!! Thank you!!

Appreciate your work and communication! I'm getting older, and already supplementing with Taurine, so I'm curious to hear your thoughts.

Doesn’t NAC cause cancer if you already have cancer and don’t know it?

Where can we donate to keep these type of research going ?

Good job, I’ve been taking Tori now for about three months. I physically don’t see a difference, so I’m taking it on Blind Faith…. Lol

It helps those either adhd because of its ability to help or repair the neurotransmitters

Great video thanks. I have a question. I learned from you seems that I shall not take antioxidant supplements before or during weightlifting training. But how about right after training? Can I or how long I have to wait before taking antioxidant supplements? Thanks

Did you suggest taking taurine WITH exercises? Thanks much. ❤

Taurine apparently has a halflife of about 1 hour which would suggest that taking it throughout the day is best. Although, I wonder if tissues wouldn’t get saturated at some point 🤷‍♀️

Nice vid dude!

I subscribed. I'm 165 pounds male 5 foot 9. I started on taurune because of high blood pressure. Low dose BP medication and I started on taurine a month ago. So lets see what happens because without meds it would creep up to 140/90 . Really annoying

Thank you for your research! ❤

I put 5 grams in my morning coffee on an empty stomach . Would this be effective?

First allow me to say I love your videos. Can you please tell me how do they think your wife had a stroke at such a young age. And how is she doing now? I hope she is improving.

Taurine is GREAT for bile flow, eyesight and exercise tolerance + weight

its a plus and a plus is obviously not a minus , so yes

I believe you..I just need to knew the dose

Life extension is one thing but I would have thought Quality of life is more important. Living an extra 10years in a nursing home with physical decay or as a senile person isn't a benefit

While informative, I think the editing was a little rushed ... at 03:25 your graphic shows an increase of life-PAN (not life-SPAN) It's a minor error, but you should re-upload, because people like to nitpick at such things (like I am doing now) and it discredits the information for not being reviewed. I like that you shared the study in the video description

Hi Rimon. All studies I found shows Taurine inhibits autophagy and activates mTor. Which in turn promotes muscle growth etc. I'm confused which one is true? Also what is the main mech. of action of Taurine that promotes longevity? mTor or antioxidant regulation?

You presented the lowering of Mtor expression as a negative, when it has been show that lower Mtor tends to increase lifespan.

Great video thanks 😊

Mice can’t run to the store and pick up some processed foods they are fed a healthy diet while they are given these tests. Soooo maybe anyone who thinks this doesn’t work should change their diet also

I have children who have been taking taurine since 10 years old. They will all likely live beyond 100 years and maybe break some world records I’ve been taking Taurine for 35 years (since 33)

Your study says that the positive effects of TAURINE, may be greater the earlier a person takes them, as it depletes as you get older. But when you are younger the body makes Taurine naturally, so starting a routine later in life shouldn’t be an issue, as you maintain the same levels that the body has always produced.

Hlo mr , European food safety authority suggested 6 gram taurine is safe ,

So... can I take taurine instead of hitting the snooze alarm??

Are you sure about your interpretation of the data of those researches about the effect Taurine has on m-Tor? Taurine is used since long time by athletes and bodybuilders for improving sport performance and muscle growth.

You also didn't mention eggs, chicken, tuna, beef lamb also have taurine so if you're a hyper carnivore you probably get enough and it's bioavailable in animal protein

Co factors could be present in sea food that make the taurine work better? I would like to see mice studies with dried seaweed added.

Just curious, did you practiced mewing,if yes could you make research video about effectiveness of mewing

The “worms” you showed were not worms. What was used in the study?

How do you test (which Labs test) for Taurine? Whats the range, for males over 40 and whats a good baseline.

Longevity studies on Nordic countries found a positive correlation between longer lifespan and lean protein intake, wild game protein intake, and fish protein intake. It just seems like all of these amino acids are good for you and we should be eating lots of them.

Taurine is dirt cheap as a supplement, I buy it in bulk powder form, 30€ of it will last me 4 months or something. I've lost 10kg of bodyweight with no other efforts just taking 4G of Taurine per day.

I have not had miraculous results with taurine but it is good

Timestamps please

Thanks for your analysis Rimon.. Hope your wife is improving OK. I've been taking 6g taurine a day, first thing in the morning dissolved along with my TMG and NMN for a while now. Interesting what you say about exercise & taurine though, I hadn't considered this factor but I think maybe until we get better data I might treat it like resveratrol, and (on training days) take it post-exercise but prior to a meal. instead of first ting in the morning ?? Cheers - Dave.

Hay and thanks What you recommend fir hasihomoto disease And broxium

Does it help with stiff muscles? Ive paon everywhere due to stiff muscles, pls do a video on this too

I take 3g of taurine, 3g of glycine + NAC (glynac) along with fish oil in the afternoon, after I've finished with my daily activities & workouts.

Taurine is naturally produced in the human body. As we age, the Taurine production slows down. Like testosterone, by the time we're 60 we make 10% or less of the Taurine in our body, as we did at ten.

My taurine level is at 30 yo level (based on blood teat) and I'm 69. I eat nothing but plants with a little wild fish. Exercise daily and for last 10 years supplement with a small dose of taurine (500 mg) for vascular health.

Would magnesium taurate be a good idea? Double win.

THANK YOU.
