ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying whether taking 4 grams of taurine daily for six months can help slow down the aging process in people aged 55 to 75. Researchers want to find out if taurine can improve physical fitness, metabolism (how our bodies use energy), and even some brain functions. To do this, participants will take either taurine or a placebo (a dummy pill that looks the same but has no active ingredients) and will visit the study site four times for checkups and tests throughout the trial.

To join the study, participants must be men or women aged between 55 and 75, have a body mass index (BMI) between 22 and 30, and be able to give written consent. However, those with certain health conditions, like severe chronic illnesses or recent heart problems, won't be eligible. This trial is currently looking for participants, and it offers a chance to contribute to important research on aging and health.
