Evidence
2 records
Endurance exercise performance
Trained adults; mixed sports • Meta-analysis
Oral taurine ingestion improved overall endurance performance; dose and supplementation period did not significantly moderate the effect.
Dose: 2000 mg • Duration: Acute (1–6 g single dose)
Evidence base smaller than caffeine or creatine; individual responses vary.
Aerobic and strength exercise (dose-response; DNA damage, lactate)
Athletes and active adults • Systematic review
Taurine 2 g × 3/day with exercise reduced DNA damage; 1 g acute reduced lactate. Mechanistic support for improved muscle strength and endurance via calcium homeostasis regulation.
Dose: 2000 mg • Duration: Acute to chronic (2 g × 3/day)
Generally safe; well-tolerated up to 10 g/day in studies.
Forms
