DID YOU KNOW that the phytochemical urolithin A (UA), which we have touted for several years now, is consistently providing exquisite data for myriad regenerative capabilities because of its amazing effect on reviving mitochondria? The benefits of UA appeal to all age groups, from less active individuals to elite athletes.
Participants in a Nature Aging study were given either UA supplements or a placebo for 28 days. UA safely boosted T lymphocytes, which are important for fighting pathogens, PGC-1α, a protein that acts as the master controller where cells generate new mitochondria, and lowered oxidative stress in cells.
A study from Nutrients states that UA is a potential dual-purpose phytochemical that may positively interfere with the shared pathogenic pathways linking colorectal cancer and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
A study from Nutrition Reviews found UA improves lipid profiles, reduces fat weight, and optimizes metabolic marker abnormalities or pre-obesity, highlighting its therapeutic potential for managing metabolic syndrome.
Six weeks of UA supplementation during preseason improved aerobic endurance and jump performance in elite academy soccer players, according to a study from Frontiers in Nutrition.
