Oral supplement — urolithin A (intended to stimulate a natural body process) is found to promote muscle endurance and mitochondrial health in humans.

‘Oral supplement — urolithin A (a byproduct of a person’s gut bacteria and loaded with polyphenols) is found to promote muscle endurance and mitochondrial health in humans.’

It was found that Urolithin A was associated with a significant reduction in several acylcarnitines and ceramides implicated for their roles in metabolic disorders involving mitochondria. 




“This is relevant both to people with chronic diseases and people who want to be more active later in life.” “Even though we did not observe an effect of the supplement in whole body function (via six-minute measure and ATP production). These results are still exciting because they demonstrate that just taking a supplement for a short duration actually improved muscle endurance. Fatigue resistance got better in the absence of exercise,” says the lead author, David Marcinek, a professor of radiology at the University of Washington School of Medicine.
