Taurine supplement tested as cheap fix for long COVID dizziness
NCT ID NCT07312409
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether taking taurine—a natural amino acid—for 12 weeks can improve blood vessel function and reduce dizziness when standing up in people with Long COVID. Researchers will measure blood flow, heart rate, and brain blood flow in 30 participants before and after supplementation. If successful, taurine could offer an affordable way to ease some Long COVID symptoms.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
taurine (a dietary supplement)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, low-cost supplement to ease blood flow and dizziness problems in Long COVID.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early study (30 people) with no placebo group, so results may not be reliable or apply to everyone. Taurine is generally safe but may not help all symptoms.
