Findings

Researchers tested a taurine derivative called N-bromotaurine on two patients with severe psoriasis that didn't respond to standard treatments. When combined with taurine and olive oil, the treatment reduced psoriasis plaques in 2-7 weeks with fewer side effects, and patients didn't relapse within 3 months—significantly faster than conventional options.
