Taurine to prevent aging? Imagine the actual intake.
【Taurine is promising for the prevention of aging… Effects on humans are unknown】
https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/science/20230608-OYT1T50357/
・An international team of researchers from Columbia University and other universities in the U.S. confirmed in animal experiments that supplementation with taurine, a substance found in fish and seafood, is promising for the prevention of aging, according to an announcement in the scientific journal Science on August 8.
・The team analyzed blood samples from mice, rhesus monkeys, and humans, and confirmed that taurine levels decrease with age.
・In the experiment, the taurine-treated group showed an increase in bone mineral density and bone mass, while the age-related deterioration of the body improved, as evidenced by a decrease in pancreatic pancreatic and liver dysfunctional substances.
・The team estimated that the effective intake in humans is 3-6 grams per day (within the European Food Safety Authority’s safe upper limit of 6 grams per day).
・Future verification is needed to determine the amount that is effective for one person, etc.
These are the quotes from the article
Information and nutrition depend on how we absorb it.
The above article was trending on Twitter.
I don’t know how many people believe this, but I believe that we need to absorb information and nutrition correctly.
First, as a basic premise, its effectiveness in humans has not yet been confirmed.
But if it worked for rhesus monkeys, there is a good chance that it will work for humans as well.
For example, 100 g of squid contains 350 mg of taurine. One cup of squid weighs about 300g, and the edible part weighs about 150g, so if you want to consume 3-6g, you have to eat quite a lot of squid. (Scallops have 1000 mg in 100 g, though.)
By the way,
【Taurine” in Energy Drinks May Slow Aging】
https://gigazine.net/news/20230609-taurine-may-slow-ageing-process/
This article covers the same study as the one above, but the title is completely different. Energy Drinks….^^;
Yes, one energy drink contains roughly 1000 mg of taurine, but if you aim to consume 3-6 g, you would have to drink 3-6 energy drinks a day. (Sounds bad for you).
Squid and other seafood, and energy drinks cannot be consumed in such large quantities, so in any case, taurine intake for its anti-aging effect is not realistic.
Nevertheless, taking taurine in moderation may be a bit of an anti-aging measure.
By the way, I eat dried bonito flakes on my salad every day. My aim is to supplement essential amino acids, but it seems that dried bonito flakes also contain taurine, so I will continue to eat dried bonito flakes every day.^^
So,
Although it is not realistic to consume taurine or the amount of taurine intake to prevent aging, if we consume bonito flakes in moderation, we might be able to expect a little bit of anti-aging effect? That was my conclusion.
If you are unsure or have questions, you can usually find out most things by looking them up on the Internet. Of course, the taurine content of squid and energy drinks mentioned above is also something I wrote after doing my own research on the Internet.
Questions, things you don’t understand, things you are interested in, etc.? Leave it as it is
Questions, things I don’t understand, things I’m interested in, etc.? try to find out what it is
This difference is tremendous. And I think the difference in repetition is tremendous.
We urge you not only to take the information as it is, but also to do your own research.
See you then.
I have been doing a lot of research on my interests, thanks in part to this blog. Passive and active are two different ways to get information.
