In this video, I do a deep dive into why taurine might be one of the most underrated supplements for anyone using therapeutic peptides. Whether you’re on GLP-1s like retatrutide or semaglutide, growth hormone peptides, healing peptides like BPC-157 and TB-500, or mitochondrial peptides like MOTS-C and SS-31—taurine has a role in enhancing results, reducing side effects, and improving overall health.

I break down taurine’s mechanisms, its synergy with popular peptides, how it helps retain lean mass, supports mitochondrial function, improves recovery, and even extends lifespan in animal studies. Plus, I cover my recommended dosing strategy and the exact benefits I’ve seen in practice with clients.
