topicTaurine Exercise Recovery Randomized Trial
claimAs life expectancy increases, age-associated declines in muscle strength, metabolic flexibility, immune responsiveness, and cognitive resilience have become major contributors to morbidity and diminished quality of life.

topicTaurine Exercise Recovery Randomized Trial
claimDespite these benefits, the biological response to exercise is often dampened in aging due to reduced mitochondrial efficiency, lower anabolic sensitivity, impaired antioxidant capacity, and chronic inflammatory signaling.
