3 Things: 1. On a quick search (I haven’t looked into this deeply), taurine seems to reduce or attenuate increases in cholesterol lipoproteins according to a meta-analysis (DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2020.173533). So, as I suspected, it isn’t much of a worry (I’ll need to confirm this) - yet the association with increased blood levels is still a mystery - why do you think it might be the case? Let’s take some guesses! 2. And, apparently I see 'orange' as 'red', yet I'm not color blind.. 3. @6:43 - that should read 'SASP', not 'SAPS'.

[@Physionic]

[@Burnrate]

That was definitely red. Also, cholesterol isn't a... oh wait, nvm

I think I’ll wait a bit for more studies. I was excited about GlyNAC until I ran across a study on HCC (Hepatocellular Carcinoma) and NAC. That was scary. I operate on cancer patients daily so my view of the world is that everyone has cancer. I need to dig into this a little deeper.

[@Danny-mg1hu]

@@pacmanfl HCC? have Physionic look into it.

[@julianbraganza8908]

I suspect that it's not the taurine causing blood lipid issues rather, dietary patterns that lead to high blood levels of taurine also tend to negatively affect lipids (ie. high meat diets). Shouldn't be an issue with taurine supplementation if that is the case.

[@liamcage7208]

I worked in health care for 33 years. The first 13 of those years was in a seniors' nursing home. I have seen residents who lived to be well into their 90's but were wheelchair bound since they were 70. Longevity IS NOT the preferred outcome (unless you are scared to die I suppose), but rather quality of life. Living to be 85 years old while still being active, independent, mobile, mostly free of pain and living and loving those you care about is the goal. When I look at these sorts of studies, I am interested in longevity potential but I key in on those aspects that imply a better quality of life, i.e. hirer bone density from Taurine supplementation.

[@violetsabrewing7938]

Exactly.

[@stephenvanwoert2447]

The US promotes longevity because it enables CONSUMERS to live longer and spend and consume longer, especially if they are CONSUMERS of health care, which is about 1/6th of our economy, 18%. A good quality of life in old age is not of concern and is to be discouraged, from that standpoint.

I've been around this particular block MANY times. I took care of both my parents, as well as my step mother...at separate times, with accumulated 30 years of caregiving. I saw a total amount of years seeing inside nursing homes for 7 years. People DO NOT do well in nursing homes. That in itself tends to age people and certainly does not offer optimal quality of life. And quite frankly, a "wheelchair" does not deter from the quality of life, for one who has values in the right place. But if you wanna go, by all means, short change yourself.

Highlights 💡 Taurine supplementation increased lifespan by 10-12% in mice. 💡 Taurine supplementation reduced body fat, improved muscle strength, and blood sugar levels. 💡 Taurine showed potential in reducing senescent cells and increasing stem cells. 💡 The study suggests that taurine can be beneficial later in life, even if not taken in the earliest stages. 💡 While there are some potential negatives associated with taurine, further research is needed to fully understand its effects in humans.

[@markaguilera493]

How much boron per day in terms of teaspoons? Dissolved in beverage or mixed with food?

[@bludwurm]

@markaguilera493 I don't take it by the spoonful. I went ahead and bought it in capsule form. It's sold on Amazon as Bio-Boron. When I did take it in powder, it wasn't much. Maybe 1/4 teaspoon in a large glass of water that i drank over a few hours. Boron is less toxic to humans than table salt. A test showed that salt is 1000 times more toxic. So, if you are off a bit, it'll be fine. I got capsuls because It's just easier that way. It's works great. I find it unbelievable that it works to kill my back pain, but if I skip a couple of days, I do feel a big difference.

Based on the content of the video, here's a summary of the key points discussed regarding the study on taurine and its potential effects on lifespan, health span, stem cells, and cellular senescence: 1. **Lifespan and Taurine Levels:** - The study measured taurine levels in blood across different biological systems, including mice, monkeys, and humans. - In humans, taurine levels decrease with age, with a significant reduction by age 50. - Mice were fed either a taurine-supplemented or non-supplemented diet. Those supplemented with taurine had a 10-12% longer lifespan compared to the non-supplemented group. - Notably, taurine supplementation began in middle age for the mice, suggesting its benefits can still be realized later in life. 2. **Metrics of Health Span:** - Taurine supplementation led to reduced body fat, improved muscle strength, and better blood sugar levels. - Bone health was positively impacted, with increased bone volume and improved bone strength observed in taurine-supplemented groups. 3. **Stem Cells and Cellular Senescence:** - Stem cells are crucial for healing and defense against pathogens, while senescent cells can negatively affect surrounding cells. - Taurine supplementation was associated with reduced cellular senescence markers in various tissues. - An experiment involving gene analysis suggested a potential increase in mitotically active stem cells due to taurine supplementation. 4. **Correlations and Interpretation:** - The study had animal models (mice) as well as data from monkeys and humans. - Positive correlations were found between taurine levels and various health markers, including reduced inflammation and obesity. - There were also negative correlations, such as dyslipidemia and elevated liver enzyme levels, that were not extensively discussed in the video. - The presenter emphasized the need to consider both positive and negative correlations and to avoid oversimplifying the results. 5. **Application and Implications:** - The presenter was cautious about the interpretation and emphasized the potential but speculative nature of the findings. - While taurine might not extend human lifespan by 12%, it could still have significant effects on overall health. - Taurine supplementation later in life could be impactful, potentially compensating for earlier lifestyle habits. - The presenter suggested watching their detailed study analysis for more comprehensive information on the findings.

One of the biggest problems with mouse studies, apart from the obviously massive gap in genetic makeup, is that their standard laboratory diet is extremely poor and unnatural. They are fed primarily corn and soy, both usually GMO. So basically any change in diet, or supplementation, may show an improvement where a more natural baseline diet would not. We just don’t know. That’s also how fad diets get started in human populations: the standard American diet is so poor in nutrients and rich in pollutants that almost any change will yield improvements.

I'm nearing 70. As diabetic from the past (eight years on insulin after a heart attack), fasting one day a week (for 36-40 hours) led to improvement in A1C. Having been encouraged by this, I went aggressively for HFLC diet and overnight fasting (found out I 'm good at it!) with 7,000 steps everyday (sometimes within the house because of inclement weather) for over 7 months. However, I noticed I wasn't producing enough energy to go up a hill and my LdL and total cholesterol had gone up (and LdL above the range for the first time). The triglycerides remained below 80. A1C was 5.4. I had lost over 35 pounds and reached a BMI of 19.5 which worried my doctor. So I went for a week-long program (over the net) run by a famous doctor (doing research first using Atkins then Keto for over 25 years) but they were unable or unwilling to talk about how to address "low power". The course was mainly for people who had high BMI. I then went for an exercise bike after getting fooled by studies on "Italian alpine cyclists". Now after another 15 months, this June (2023), after 22 months being out of any medication for diabetes but still with "low power", I found you. You made me realize the folly of many things including "insulin resistance" for those who have no weight to lose. I had already played with relaxing the A1C to a steady state of 6.5 but now with LdL and total cholesterol both within range. I had also realized since the beginning of 2023, that one thing is autophagy but another thing is to have cell death. Lactic acid production from that "cyclist trainer" made cell death possibly worse. So I am increasingly saying: "it's the health of the mitochondria stupid". It's clear for me it’s less calorie, be it from carb or fat (that's from you - thank you), and with supplementation to reduce ROS. The Taurine study, as many of these studies go, is mainly for overweight people and those with blood sugar issues.

[@pacmanfl]

@surajitgoswami1871 About your cholesterol levels. There are many people whose cholesterol levels look similar to yours after being on a HFLC diet. I’m not on that type of diet but I joined a Facebook group called “LMHR” (lean mass hyper responders) to see what the fuss was about. There are a lot of people in that group whose LDL cholesterol skyrockets into the 300-400+ range with other cholesterol markers remaining normal. Those extremely high LDL levels seem to be associated with normal to low BMI and extremely low carbs. There was a recent study that showed that association. Just bumping the carbs up will (should) start to bring bring tour LDL down. Btw… I’d be worried about a BMI of 19.5 too

[@sheppycider123]

@@pacmanflI understood, perhaps im wrong, but in my readings the higher cholesterol was due to the fact that that is how fat sourced energy like ketones gets transported to cells. But I’d be grateful for further education.

@@pacmanfl I do not find your conclusion about bumping carbs as the only let alone optimal solution. I went on LCHF keto diet and my LDL skyrocketed to the level, that my doctor wanted to put me on statins. I declined and decided to fix it with change of diet. I was still on very low carb keto diet, but I stopped to consume saturated animal fats and replaced them with olive oil and coconut oil. After several months my LDL dropped more than 50%. So I did not need any carbs to achieve it. Now I do not really think that LDL is such a problem and I am actually on the carnivore diet, which means lots of saturated fat and no carbs at all and I feel the best so far. I do not check my LDL, though, because I do not want to be pushed into statins.

[@pacmanfl]

@@neilnewinger3059 I didn’t imply that bumping carbs up was the only strategy for lowering LDL. As I mentioned, this was an observational study. The amount of saturated vs unsaturated fat consumed was unknown. However, in the discussion and supplemental data, LDL was significantly reduced with the introduction of 50-100g of fruit and starchy vegetables. The study drew no conclusions on the cardiovascular risks associated with this phenomenon. Are you 100% sure that an LDL in the multiple 100’s is ok? If you are then you know more than the people who research this for a living.

Experienced a Main Coon cat of poor health; he lived 16 years although the Veterinarian had said early on, he should have already passed (Heart) shortly after his birth. The Veterinarian (U. of F.) did recommend Taurine be included in his specialized cat food. This Video went beyond my cat’s Docter’s explanation, and Buddy (Maine Coone) outlived his health disposition by more than doubling his years. Although his health rapidly declined and was put to sleep early in his last year. However, he and I enjoyed his added time. Now it is nearing my time, late but am going to start taking this additive (Taurine).

I am finding taurine helps with improvement in Gallbladder and Liver health. Increased bile production, and parasite removal. Taurine is a supplement I include as part of a way of life, and do not depend on it solely, or treat it like a medication. It works synergistically, and in my experience is best used from that point of view.

[@gregparrott]

A medical study showed a HUGE correlation between regular exercise with weights and increased bone density. Even for people in their 90's, their bone density increased by as much as 30%. It makes sense that exercise (cyclic stressing) engages muscles, tendons and BONES. There likely are publications on how best to begin/maintain a weight bearing exercise regimen later in life, what limitations apply, what dietary recommendation aid bone growth, etc. Another fascinating, non age related study pertained to astronauts. Even with regular exercise, their hearts atrophied by over a quarter due to the lack of gravitational stresses. But once they returned to earth, the heart quickly regained what had been lost. This provided another demonstration of how dynamically responsive parts of the body are to their use (use it or lose it)

Stop eating rusty iron filings promoted as 'iron fortification.' Anemia due to chronic inflammation is caused by iron overload in the tissues due to copper activated ferro-oxidase deficiency. Unfortunately, your doctor doesn't know this, and doesn't test for elevated iron in the tissues and assumes low iron in the blood automatically represents the iron level in tissues, which it empirically does not do. Look up 'Morley Robbins' for more more information.

WARNING: I started taking 6 grams of taurine each day for about 3 and a half months. After about a month I started getting a stiff neck. It kept getting worse. An X-ray shows arthritis. I looked up Taurine and arthritis & found taurine is very concentrated where there is arthritis. The studies think that is preventative. But I think perhaps the imbalance of my taurine intake will my other amino acids caused an autoimmune response. I stopped taking taurine after the 3 1/2 months and my neck has significantly improved . It is about a month now since I stopped . (I also did some physical therapy at the start of my neck problems but it didn’t help).

Learn about intermittent fasting. I suggest the book called 'Fast Like a Girl." I've been a dietitian for over 35 years, now retired, but still very active in terms of continuing education. Intermittent fasting, assuming you're a healthy person, can help with insulin resistance in a BIG way. It's much easier than you would think and very safe but it's important to learn about it and recognize that men and women have to do it differently because we are so different hormonally. Work smarter not harder when it comes to health. Knowledge is key. If you overdo working out you're going to raise your cortisol which RAISES blood glucose adding to insulin resistance.

What I found with 1000mg of taurine/day was after one week 1. Libido was increased. 2. Night vision was decreased. 3. After one week the night vision component is still reduced but less than at first unless two doses are taken. During my morning walk before daybreak I look down the path to the end where a grey bench sits. Before taurine I could see this bench and surrounding trees. Now I must be half way down the path to even see the bench but it is slightly less visible at 1/4 mile in the dark depending upon lunar state. Night vision is important to me.

Ok, hear me out. I'm 41yo, reasonably healthy male. I've just started supplementing taurine and noticed some magical things started happening! Energy levels are up, very noticeably - I used to love working out but over the last few years I've somewhat deflated, lost my edge and will to work out - straight after supplementing taurine I started to feel the urge, the tingle to hit the gym and my muscles hard again! The quality of sleep dramatically improved, especially the falling asleep aspect, which in turn seems to have started to normalise my circadian rhythm. Borderline insomnia has been my struggle as long as I can remember. I've always dreamt of becoming an early bird - maybe now I have a chance to achieve it. But wait, there's more! Most importantly of all I noticed a dramatic improvement in my RSI (forearms) and radial nerve damage in my right arm. The pain has gone from severe to barely noticeable just after a couple of days of supplementing taurine. Before, I've tried everything, all supplements (apart from the taurine) and exercises, including the "nerve flossing" exercises, with very little impact. Looking forward to seeing what comes next. Best regards to all!

[@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep]

@@Holy.HannaH vitamin C, magnesium, and thiamine are basically the trinity of absolutely essential supplements every body needs to function. thiamine gate keeps every biological process in the body, magnesium to a slightly less extent. Vitamin c and magnesium are critical to free radical aka inflammation from every biological toxin and infection attacking the body being neutralized and preventing the damage. Vitamin C is critical for the immune system to kill infections as it's the literal ammo turned into hydrogen peroxide by the white blood cell to kill the infection. Magnesium is critical for calcium taming in the blood and preventing the toxic effects of calcium. When a cell or part of the body starts to die calcium is always what starts entering the area. Vitamin C is critical for preventing bone issues not calcium. List goes on and on with what they do. Those three things are basically top of the food chain in their critical requirement. After that it's hard to order anything. Vitamin D, iodine, taurine, glucosamine are all around great too.

[@Holy.HannaH]

@@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep I didnt see this before, I apologize.. My mutation is extremely degenerative and drastically alters the order & amounts of what the body needs. While all those things you mentioned are indeed necessary, Taurine & Vitamin C very much top my list. You speak of the gatekeeping but due to the mutation my 'gates' aren't even formed correctly. I've been on my deathbed twice in the past year alone after suffering horribly with no treatment for over a decade and watched several family members die while everyone stands by pretending there's nothing to be done. Taurine has literally saved my life, reversed many of the hundreds of disorders it causes, and allowed me to function again.
