Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 4

L-taurine is an amino sulfonic acid that has been widely studied for its effects on the cardiovascular system. Scientific evidence suggests that taurine plays a role in several physiological processes that support heart health, including regulation of blood pressure, modulation of calcium signaling in cardiac muscle, and antioxidant activity. Clinical studies have shown that taurine supplementation can help lower blood pressure in individuals with prehypertension or hypertension. For example, a meta-analysis published in 2016 in "Hypertension Research" found that taurine supplementation significantly reduced both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in humans. Additionally, taurine has demonstrated benefits in improving heart function in patients with congestive heart failure according to various small-scale clinical trials. Mechanistically, taurine is thought to help stabilize cell membranes, reduce oxidative stress, and improve lipid profiles, all of which contribute to cardiovascular health. Animal studies also support taurine’s cardioprotective effects, including its ability to reduce arrhythmias and protect against ischemia-induced damage. While most studies indicate that taurine is safe and beneficial for heart health, the majority of clinical trials have been relatively small, and more large-scale, long-term studies are needed to fully confirm its effectiveness and mechanisms in humans. Nonetheless, the current body of scientific evidence supports the use of L-taurine as a supplement to support the heart and cardiovascular system.
