A 2023 study in Science showed that an amino acid extended lifespan in mice by 10-12%. The research suggests it might help humans live longer too. People with higher levels had healthier hearts, stronger bones, and better blood sugar control.

The amino acid is taurine. Your body makes it, but production drops dramatically with age. Some studies show declines of up to 80% between age 25 and 65. You can replace what you’ve lost simply and affordably.
