Model: 20-month-old C57BL/6N male mice (roughly equivalent to 60-year-old humans)
Dosage: 8,000 mg/kg of taurine administered via oral gavage for four months

Yale Study Shows How Taurine Reduces Age-Related Inflammation

A new study reveals how taurine helps curb age-related inflammation in aged mice by targeting a key inflammatory pathway in immune cells.

A new study finds that taurine supplementation reduces signs of inflammation and improves some measures of physical function in aged male mice.

The XPrize Healthspan competition has named its top 20 finalist groups that will submit their aging intervention therapies for human trial testing.

Participants: Healthy middle-aged to older adults (average age: ~53 years)
Dosage: 1,000 mg/day of urolithin A for 28 days

Supplementing healthy adults with urolithin A —a compound produced by our gut bacteria— counters signs of age-related immune system decline.
