Scientists have discovered that taurine, a substance found in many energy drinks, can slow the aging process and promote healthier living.

Researchers discovered this from studies they conducted on animals, writes "The Guardian".

They found that taurine levels declined significantly with age, but taking taurine increased the health of mice and monkeys and even extended the mice's lifespan.

It's unclear whether humans can benefit in the same way, but scientists believe the evidence is strong enough to warrant a large-scale trial.

Without a large trial to demonstrate the safety or any benefits of taurine supplements, scientists do not recommend that people increase their intake through pills, energy drinks, or dietary changes.

Taurine is produced naturally in the body and is found in meat diets, but the healthiest diets are mostly plant-based.

Some energy drinks contain taurine, but scientists warn that they also contain other substances that may not be safe to consume at high levels.
