Taurine (/ ˈ t ɔː r iː n /), or 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid, is a non-proteinogenic naturally occurring amino sulfonic acid that is widely distributed in animal tissues. [1] It is a major constituent of bile and can be found in the large intestine, and accounts for up to 0.1% of total human body weight.
Taurine, an ingredient present in protein-rich foods and often added to energy drinks, may slow down the aging process, new science suggests. Nutrient found in high-protein foods helps slow aging ...

Taurine has an observed safe level of supplemental intake in normal healthy adults at up to 3 g/day. [2] Using the same level as an approximation for taurate yields a limit of 3.3 g/day for magnesium taurate, or alternatively 300 mg/day for elemental magnesium as taurate.
Deoxycholic acid (DCA) is increased in the colonic contents of humans in response to a high fat diet. [33] In populations with a high incidence of colorectal cancer, fecal concentrations of bile acids are higher, [ 34 ] [ 35 ] and this association suggests that increased colonic exposure to bile acids could play a role in the development of cancer.
The Linus Pauling Institute is a research institute located at the Oregon State University with a focus on health maintenance. The mission statement of the institute is to determine the functional roles of micronutrients and phytochemicals in promoting optimal health and to treat or prevent human disease, and to determine the role of oxidative stress and inflammation in health and disease.
The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is a survey research program conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) to assess the health and nutritional status of adults and children in the United States, and to track changes over time. [1]
SeHCAT is a taurine-conjugated bile acid analog which was synthesized for use as a radiopharmaceutical to investigate in vivo the enterohepatic circulation of bile salts. [2] By incorporating the gamma-emitter 75 Se into the SeHCAT molecule, the retention in the body or the loss of this compound into the feces could be studied easily using a standard gamma camera, available in most clinical ...
