Impact of Urolithin A (Mitopure) on Mitochondrial Quality in Muscle of Frail Older Adults

"UA is produced by the gut microbiome following the digestion of dietary precursors (polyphenols such as ellagitannins and punicalagins) present in fruits and nuts such as pomegranate, nuts and berries.~In mouse models of aging and muscle dystrophy, UA was shown to induce mitophagy and mitochondrial function in the skeletal muscle. This was associated with improved muscle strength and endurance (Nat. Med, 2016; Sci Tran Med, 2021). In humans, UA was shown to be safe and bioavailable in multiple clinical studies (Nat. Met, 2019; Cell Rep Med, 2022; JAMA Network Open, 2022)."
