Urolithin A (Mitopure) is a longevity product whose active basis is activates mitophagy, recycles mitochondria. Improves muscle strength and mitochondrial efficiency in adults. It is positioned for resale to the growing healthspan-focused consumer market.
Restores mitochondrial quality control declining with age. Research relevant to this mechanism is indexed on PubMed and linked below; it describes the mechanism rather than this specific product.
Peer-reviewed studies on the active compound — citations link to PubMed.
“significant improvements in muscle strength with intake of Urolithin A”
“Urolithin A is a gut microbiome-derived metabolite shown to stimulate mitophagy and improve muscle function”
“UA upregulated pathways associated with mitochondria, led to a medium effect for increased markers of mitophagy”
“Furthermore, Urolithin A reduced disease progression in a mouse model of OA, decreasing cartilage degeneration, synovial inflammation, and pain.”
“We showed that the autophagy flow was blocked in the spinal dorsal horn of the chronic constriction injury (CCI) mice when the most obvious pain behavior occurs.”
