Taurine is an amino acid which is thought to play a central role in supporting healthy ageing. 

Research has shown the circulation and availability of taurine within the human body decreases with age and its decline/loss may contribute to age related health issues.

Taurine deficiency transcends species and has been identified as a potential driver of ageing in worms, mice and monkeys.

Recent studies have shown that taurine levels are associated with a number of key markers of ageing such as:

  • DNA health
  • telomerase length
  • mitochondrial function
  • cellular senescence
  • markers of inflammation
  • abdominal size

EU Consumer Right of Withdrawal

Customers in the European Union
If you are a consumer residing in the European Union, you may have a statutory right to withdraw from your purchase within 14 days of receiving your order, without giving any reason, unless an exception under applicable law applies.

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must notify us of your decision before the withdrawal period expires. You may do so by using our online withdrawal function (where available) or by contacting us using the details provided on our Contact Us page. Once your withdrawal request has been received, we will provide confirmation of receipt without undue delay.

You must return the goods to us in saleable condition within 14 days of notifying us of your decision to withdraw. Unless the return is due to our error or the goods are faulty, you are responsible for the cost of returning goods to us.

We will refund all payments received for the returned goods, including the standard cost of delivery where required by applicable law, within the timeframes required by EU consumer law. We may withhold the refund until we have received the returned goods in saleable condition, or satisfactory evidence that they have been returned.

If the returned goods incur any customs duties, import taxes, brokerage fees, storage charges, handling fees, or other charges imposed by customs authorities or the shipping carrier upon their return to us, these amounts will be deducted from your refund. Where such charges exceed the value of the refund, we reserve the right to reduce the refund accordingly. We are not responsible for customs duties, taxes, VAT, or other import charges levied by your local customs authority on either the original shipment or the return of the goods.

Exceptions
For health, hygiene and food safety reasons, the right of withdrawal does not apply where permitted by applicable law, including but not limited to:
