NCT ID: NCT06613542 Phase: NA Status: COMPLETED Enrollment: 90 Completion: 2025-11-13

Conditions

Taurine, Aging, Biological, Physical Activity, Metabolic Health, Anti-Aging, Longevity, Dietary Supplement, DNA Methylation, Sport

Interventions

4g of taurine daily, Placebo

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of taking 4 grams of taurine by older adults on aging processes over a period of 6 months. It will also check for effects of taurine on participant's physical fitness, metabolic and cognitive functions. The main question it aims to answer is:

• Does a supplementation with 4 g of taurine daily over a period of 6 months slow down biological aging in humans? Researchers will compare supplementation with taurine to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to reliably determine whether taurine has an effect.

Participants will:

  • Take 4g of taurine or a placebo every day for 6 months
  • Visit the study site 4 times for checkups and tests: for a screening visit, at the beginning of the intervention, after 8 and 24 weeks

Primary Outcome

Change From Baseline in Biological Age At 6 Months (Proteome Analysis)
