Evidence Update
Current evidence
Taurine has preclinical intervention signals, including extended mouse lifespan; human aging associations are mixed.
What changed
Adds animal evidence together with distinct human reports and phenotype-dependent observations; participant-level independence is not fully established.
What did not change
No proven human longevity benefit, universal deficiency mechanism or human dose recommendation.
Why it matters
Animal treatment effects and human biomarker patterns answer different causal questions.
Main limitation
Species and exposure differences; human reports are observational and partly abstract-only.
Next proof
Independent replication and controlled human clinical outcomes.
Summary
Taurine has preclinical intervention signals, including extended mouse lifespan; human aging associations are mixed.
Intelligence Take
Animal treatment effects and human biomarker patterns answer different causal questions.
Limitations
Species and exposure differences; human reports are observational and partly abstract-only.
