Taurine Extends Healthy Lifespan - A Talk with Dr. Vijay Yadav

Taurine Talk with Dr. Vijay K. Yadav
According to a new study involving mice, non-human primates, and humans; taurine supplementation extends healthy lifespan. Let's speak with Vijay K. Yadav who is one of the researchers.
Vijay's Brief Biography
Vijay K. Yadav (born 1977) is an American biologist and biogerontologist. He is currently a faculty at the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University. Overarching theme of Dr. Yadav’s laboratory is to investigate how (semi)essential nutrients regulate whole-body homeostasis, and how this process gets dysregulated during aging to identify novel avenue to treat diseases of aging. His research in the last two decades has shown that self-imposed domestication in humans has led to an imbalance in nutrient-genetic interactions leading to increased incidence of diseases. Dr. Yadav is best known for his research on evolutionarily conserved mechanisms of aging, in particular on how nutrients such as vitamin B12 and taurine regulate aging.

Senior citizen. Got interested in Taurine approx 6 months ago. Started supplementing 3gs per day (with Creatine 3gs pd) in water. Colour of body hair is most noticeable change, has much less grey and more natural colour now and bizarrely my eye sight prescription for reading has slightly improved!... Our dog had a bad penetrating eye injury late last year with subsequent corneal melting, almost lost the eye. Started adding small amount of Taurine to the dog's water post anti-biotics etc and he has had an amazing recovery with just residual corneal clouding apparent after 3 months (since injury)...

We were fortunate enough to catch the signs of dialated cardiomyopathy in our 10 yr. old dog, months after switching her to a grain-free diet. Taurine supplementation relieved her symptoms and prevented further damage.She'll be 14 yrs in June, and we continue to feed no-grain and supplement daily with Taurine.

[@RepentfollowJesus]

Right. Cats must have it added in their food, too. Most dry foods for both have taurine added when it's made. But if you feed Lamb kibble or canned. It usually has little to no taurine. Good for you guys catching the symptoms. I just discovered taurine benefits for humans and relieved my bottle today. I'm dying with a kidney stone today, though ( not literally), and don't feel like trying anything new with a sensitive tummy. Dont want to add insult to extreme pain. I'm so proud of you.

It can raise levels but science still looking at what that means. gen. I’m there’s evidence to show when levels peak or if early smoking, alcohol, drugs etc can drop them even in our 20s. In rat livers highest at 2 mths. Liver, heart and brain levels can measure diff. Some older adults have shown higher levels in the brain despite evidence of decr w/age and or disease. Due to oxidative stress. A lot of science still to cover.

More good objective evidence based info Dr Mobeen. You’re a valuable source.

[@jmc8076]

PS: easy to search web sources but taurine in many foods. Highest in shellfish esp scallops, mussels, and clams. High (not as good) in dark turkey meat and chicken. If you don’t eat above and or dairy (sml amts in cows milk) for whatever reason maybe look into good supplement and if it makes sense for you/ your body. Peace and health.

[@tedwalford7615]

This prompted me to read up on this. One reference said that taurine can be produced by our bodies from the breakdown of the amino acid cysteine. And while most taurine sources are animal, cysteine sources are plant-based, including especially chickpeas/garbanzos, couscous, lentils, oats, and walnuts. So a question worth exploring, I'd think, is could a taurine deficiency be the result of a cysteine deficiency, and can a taurine deficiency can be mitigated by a cysteine supplementation, either dietary or otherwise. - And thank you both for this excellent and honest scientific presentation.

Magnesium taurate was very helpful for heart arrhythmias I experienced years ago while recovering from post-viral syndrome. I have continued and now take Taurine combined with a fat-soluble form of Magnesium (Sucrosmial Magnesium) that is very effective, as well as AlliThiamine which is a novel form of fat-soluble thiamine. There is something very good feeling about this combination. I believe that my eyesight improved as well after beginning Taurine.

It was a relief to hear an expert talk about ethnicity and diet. I have thought a Mediterranean Diet would be ideal for people evolved to eat that diet over generations. I doubt an Eskimo would thrive on an Indian vegetarian diet or an Indian vegetarian would thrive on an Eskimo carnivore diet. One size does not fit all. Over generations, Americans may evolve to thrive on the SAD (standard American diet) of junk food.

From this video I take: that actually every person has a unique genetic/biological make up and to achieve the right dose of Taurine (or anything come to that), would globally be impossible to achieve. There has to be a safe middle ground, diet dependent maybe on dosage increasing as you age.

[@top1cat01]

Problem is not the meat it’s everything else that people do and eat and meat gets bad press for being present. Most people that are health conscious buy into the less meat or no meat and part of the vegan plant group probably has the most right it’s seed oils sugar and I believe their missing the mark on meat by a large margin. Meat is in my opinion probably the best food for diabetes and inflammation which is linked to obesity.. lots of vegetarians are in fact obese generally those that get up on stage prance around preach look to me as being frail.. lol just imagine putting all the vegan obese up and have them preach how wonderful it is- it would be a bad sales pitch.

It basically boils down to, KNOW What's IN your Foodsources & Stay AWAY from Highly PROCESSED*Easy*Instant Gratification "foods".

[@VeganHorseman]

I have been feeding my cats a vegan diet since 2002 using a proprietary blend of nutrients which included taurine because it is an essential amino acid for cats. Heat destroys taurine in meat based cat foods so the commercial cat foods have to add taurine to the food in order for the cats to be able to absorb it in their diet. I recently started adding taurine to my own diet since reviewing some of the studies on longevity indicated it was helpful as we age. And yes I am aware that felines are obligate carnivores, but there is substantial evidence that cats can live long healthy lives eating foods that contain all the proteins from other sources that would normally come from meat.
