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)
