Summary
Marcinek suggests that urolithin A supplements may benefit people who are currently unable to get enough exercise due to poor muscle health or illness.“Just getting them over that point where exercise is possible — a walk around the block or climbing some stairs — might help a person build their own health,” he says.Previous work by the same scientists found that urolithin A improves muscle function principally by stimulating mitophagy and increasing the activity of mitochondrial genes.However, there remains a possibility that other changes led to the improvements observed in the current study.
