Research Shows Supplement Boosts Muscle and Mitochondria Health

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

A study cohort that received an oral supplement of a gut-produced compound had better endurance in two small exercises.

New research suggests that the supplement, urolithin A, may help improve or prolong muscle activity in people who are aging or who have diseases that make exercise difficult.

The paper was published in JAMA Network Open.
