ConsumerLab reports that tests done by SuppCo showed that Neurogan, CodeAge, Pure Encapsulations and Timeline contained the claimed amount.
Neurogan being the cheapest.

I tracked down that report and yes, Neurogan did pass their testing as having the claimed amount of Urolithin A.

I have been taking 1,000 mg/day of Urolithin-A for over two months, which is one of three periods of time required to produce different types of benefits. Two months is the target period for beginning to see measurable functional gains in muscle endurance. As someone over 70 who has experienced increasing challenges in fatigue and recovery time related to exercise over the past few years, I can report a significant improvement in both. A few years back, I did strenuous 45ā60-minute mountain hikes 4-6 days a week. Gradually, these hikes became more challenging in terms of muscle soreness and especially recovery time. This past year, I have had to allow at least four and sometimes six days to elapse before I could hike again. The most interesting change I attribute to Urolithin-A is how the improvement, especially in recovery time, manifested itself. The change was almost binary. For most of the two months, I felt no effect at all. I had committed to giving the experiment a four-month run but was beginning to think I was wasting my time and money. Then, recently, I want for a hike that immediately felt like it did several years ago. The soreness was typical for the level of effort at any age but the recovery period was ~24 hours and the soreness was gone. I was eager for another hike! I do not have exact records but I estimate that it has been 15 years, maybe 20, since I felt that way. According to the research I have reviewed, this effect begins to manifest itself at around two months and plateaus at four months. I will report again at that time. Iām not going to take the time to detail the reasons I attribute these gains to Urolithin-A and not to other environmental, biochemical, or psychological effects but I am careful to rule such possibilities out to the extent possible in these contexts.

Thanks for sharing your experience. What brand did you use?
For most of that time, I have used aeternum. Iām switching to Neorogan because they had a discount offer on Amazon and they seem to be one of the most used brands.

Given that the improvements seem to be to a younger period and nothing beyond that, I wonder if younger people would experience meaningful benefits from Urolithin-A.

Iām wondering the same. I think at the very least, it wont do any harm and at best, prevent any age related decline in whatever the Urolithin A is supposed to improve. The same can probably be said about a lot of interventions like GlyNAC for instance (which works in different ways).
