Taurine Dose Calculator
Choose general/longevity interest or exercise to compare common taurine amounts. Human longevity benefit has not been established.
How to read your result
- Start with Your dose and How to split; this is a comparison point, not a prescription.
- Check the Evidence range / upper limit and safety cautions.
- Weight, age and sex are not dose inputs unless the result explicitly says they are.

Medication & safety cautions
- Ask your prescriber before using taurine with lithium.
- Taurine may add to blood-pressure lowering; monitor with your clinician if you use blood-pressure medicines.
How this estimate works
General/longevity interest: 1,500 mg once daily. Exercise: 3,000 mg daily, either once or split into two doses. Studies have tested about 1–6 g/day; the 3 g/day observed safe level from the risk assessment is a reference, not a formal universal upper limit. Animal lifespan findings do not establish a human longevity dose.

Frequently asked questions
Is taurine proven to extend human lifespan?
No. The lifespan findings that drove interest were mainly from animal research, and human longevity benefit has not been established.
Is the amount based on body weight?
No. The examples are fixed amounts from the supplied study ranges.
Can taurine interact with medicines?
Discuss taurine with a pharmacist if you use lithium or blood-pressure-lowering medicines.
