Reminds me of a similar article about stearic acid. However this is about mitochondria fusion rather than mitophagy. I wonder how those two processes are connected.

And zone-2 training is supposed to increase mitochondria density, size and functionality. I wonder what the best protocol that combines exercise and diet is for mitochondrial function!

On a similar note, metformin is also supposed to be a ā€œweak mitochondrial poisonā€. Does it benefit the mitochondria in any way due to hormesis? Or is its benefit essentially via keeping blood glucose levels low?

Sorry, Iā€™ve taken this post on many tangents now.

But itā€™s great to hear about urolithin-A. Iā€™ll keep my eye out for more on this supplement!

I hope Urolithin A gets formally tested by the ITP. Promising compoundā€¦

Urolithins will also be eventually produced after the intake of all ellagitannin-containing foods and medicinal plants as is the case of camu camu (Myrciaria dubia ), arctic bramble, rose hip, sea buckthorn, cranberry, Geranium , and oak-aged spirits (whisky, etc.).

Cheers. Make it single malt.

Is anyone taking Urolithin-A? Rather expensive.
