Protein secret helps THWART the ravages of aging

You remember it well – the first time you really felt “old.”

Maybe it was getting your first pair of readers… or switching to bifocals.

Or perhaps it was that time your spouse asked why you’d turned the TV volume up so high… and it didn’t sound that loud to you.

Declines in vision and hearing are just the tip of the iceberg for folks who are getting “up there” in years…

And while they’re bad enough on their own, they’re not the worst of it.

Memory lapses and “senior moments” may follow suit…

But NONE of these age-related changes HAVE to happen.

You can SPIT in the face of aging… and tell Father Time to pack his bags.

Because there’s a “youth molecule” that can work WONDERS in reversing many of the most noticeable age-related changes in your body – AND your mind.

A ‘meat trick’ for maintaining youthfulness

In Okinawa… the Japanese “Island of Longevity”… there’s one habit that its long-living citizens all seem to have in common.

They eat diets that are rich in a substance called taurine.

Its name comes from “taurus,” the Latin word for bull. That’s the animal that German scientists first isolated it from in 1827 .

But it turns out it’s present in MANY different types of animals — like poultry (dark meat turkey and chicken), shellfish (scallops, mussels, clams), eggs, and dairy.

That means following a vegan or vegetarian diet could leave you sorely LACKING!

Fortunately, most of our bodies can manufacture our own supply of taurine from amino acids (the “building blocks” of proteins).

But the bad news is that our natural levels of taurine decrease with age.

And certain drugs and conventional cancer treatments… like chemo and radiation… can DRAIN you of your taurine supply, too.

But there’s GOOD news, too…

If you RESTORE your supply of taurine, you can REAP the benefits and live like the Okinawans do!

On a cellular level, taurine helps keep your mitochondrial energy supply from PLUMMETING as you age.

That’s not all.

Research shows how the right balance of taurine could help support…

• heart health, reducing heart failure-related mortality by almost 80%
• cognitive health, as it can help form NEW brain cells, keep your existing neural tissue healthy, and protect against damage related to environmental toxins and even stroke
• vision, by BEATING BACK oxidative stress and keeping age-related retinal damage and vision loss at bay, and
• hearing function, as it SHIELDS inner ear cells from damage.

That last one is particularly interesting… because too many folks think that hearing loss is just something that “comes with the territory” of getting older.

But if you’re not hearing as well as you used to, there could be NOTHING wrong with your ears mechanically.

Rather, it could be a MINERAL imbalance that’s blocking those sound waves from sending a message to your brain.

And taurine appears to NORMALIZE the calcium levels needed for proper hearing.

This “wonder molecule” can even SILENCE tinnitus!

You’ll find taurine on its own as a supplement in capsule form, sometimes labeled as L-taurine.

The standard dose is either 500 mg twice daily, or a “double-strength” dose of 1,000 mg once daily.
