Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll try it.
You are taking Sodium, balancing with Potassium and Magnesium is a good idea, Calcium can help, but at the moment I go for NaKMg.
I sell this in the UK

I do balance the citrate. I get about 2,000 mg of potassium from food, 400 mg of magnesium glycinate in capsule form, and 1000 mg of calcium carbonate as an antacid.
From reading your paper on citrate, which warned about taking too much too soon, and from my own experimentation, I think that 2 tsp/day is a safe but effective dose.
It lowers my serum CO2, an acid, and raises my GFR and HGB. As an acid neutralizer, it is far better than sodium bicarbonate, which is by comparison a blunt instrument.
You will get sodium from food as well. If you increase the dosage also you will need to continue balancing cations. I have taken the dosage quite high and intend doing that again in the near future (probably Saturday).
The alkalinising effects are quite good. It is worth getting pH strips to monitor the level.
I know you’ve taken high doses in the past, up to a 100 mg. But you’re a walking chemistry set. I’m just a tourist, quite happy with the lower doses.
And drinking
Again, you’re a professional and I’m just a tourist. But you seem to have largely mitigated the effects of your drinking, a point in your favor.
A summary of UA purity tests that may be helpful to some. SuppCo’s report says it anonymously purchased and lab-tested 10 popular Urolithin-A products; 6/10 failed label claim, and the results were verified by independent ISO-certified labs. ConsumerLab’s public page has not itself published an independent ConsumerLab urolithin-A test, but it notes that a separate group found 60% of popular products contained almost no urolithin-A and that the covered products include Timeline, CodeAge, Pure Encapsulations, and Neurogan.
Passed in the SuppCo report
| Brand / product tested | Label claim | Tested amount | % of label | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CodeAge Liposomal Urolithin A Capsules | 500 mg | 660.94 mg | 132.19% | Passed |
| Timeline Mitopure Urolithin A | 500 mg | 602.41 mg | 120.48% | Passed |
| Pure Encapsulations Renual | 250 mg | 283.07 mg | 113.23% | Passed |
| Neurogan Health Pro+ Urolithin A | 1,000 mg | 1,097.82 mg | 109.78% | Passed |
The Neurogan result should not automatically be generalized to every Neurogan SKU. SuppCo’s public product pages distinguish multiple Neurogan products, including 700 mg capsules, gummies, Pro+, and liposomal versions; some pages say product-specific testing is not currently verified for that SKU.
Failed in the SuppCo report

SuppCo’s public failed-products list independently confirms several of these failures, including Totaria, CystoRebalance, Sundhedsliv, Migcopat, Pepeior, and PureHealth Max, with the same striking under-delivery figures.
