L-Taurine Reduces Fatigue in Decompensated Cirrhosis: RCT

A randomiserad kontrollerad studie published in Hepatology Communications found that L-taurine supplementation reduced fatigue in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. While this is a disease-specific population, not a healthy aging population, it adds to the growing body of human RCT evidence for taurine. Taurine has gained attention in longevity research after a 2023 Science paper showed age-related decline in taurine levels and lifespan extension in mice. This RCT adds clinical evidence to the mechanistic and animal data. Fatigue is a common age-related complaint, and if taurine reduces fatigue in a severely fatigued population, it may also help in milder age-related fatigue, though this requires separate testing. The dose, sample size, and effect size were not specified in the source material.
