Taurine as a potential anti-ageing therapy: the key to reversing the ageing process? Short communication

Taurine supplementation may be a viable solution to the problem of our cells manufacturing potentially hazardous by-products known as 'free radicals'. Some of these chemicals serve crucial biological activities, but excessive amounts can harm internal cell structures, reducing the cells' capacity to operate. The regulatory systems that contribute to maintaining a healthy balance of reactive oxygen species in the body deteriorate with age. Thus, in this article, we examine how the amino acid taurine could be used in anti-ageing therapy, as well as its mechanism of action, consequences and suggestions.
