Specializes in General Practice

Aging heart: The taurine is stringer than the caffeine, this is causing your heart to beat faster and harder than it needs to. This will age your heart quicker. Add to that a chronic dehydrated state on these diuretics and you are facing an older body than it should be in your future. Stop the insanity.
