INSIGHT

Mitophagy Powers Muscle Performance

  • Urolithin A activates mitophagy, recycling damaged mitochondria into healthier ones to increase cellular energy.
  • Clinical trials show 2–4 months of supplementation improves leg strength, peak VO2, and exercise recovery in older adults.
ADVICE

Take The Clinically Tested Dose

  • Use 500 mg–1 g daily to activate mitophagy; 500 mg starts benefits while 1 g amplifies effects.
  • Expect stronger endurance and greater systemic impact at the 1 g dose.
INSIGHT

Dietary Levels Vary Widely

  • Dietary production of urolithin A depends on gut microbiome and intake of precursors from pomegranates, berries, and nuts.
  • Only ~10% of U.S. adults have circulating urolithin A from diet, so supplementation is often necessary.
