First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026

Summary

This study investigates whether taking taurine—a natural amino acid found in the body and sold as a supplement—can help adolescents aged 10 to 17 who have Long COVID. Researchers will measure taurine levels in the blood and track changes in symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and mood over three months. The goal is to see if this simple, low-cost approach could offer relief for a condition that currently has no proven treatments.
