Mindsip insights from this episode:

Question the credibility of Urolithin A research funded by supplement companies

Most, if not all, studies on Urolithin A are funded by a supplement company, and many of the researchers are employees of that company.

Increase immune cell count with urolithin A

Urolithin A increases the number of specialized immune cells, like CD8+ T cells and natural killer cells, which decline with age.

Understand urolithin A production variability in gut microbiome

Urolithin A is a metabolite produced by our gut microbiome, but it is only produced by a minority of people.

Boost mitochondrial production with urolithin A

Urolithin A raises a powerful mitochondrial growth signal called PGC-1alpha in our immune cells, indicating it may promote mitochondrial production.

Supplement with 1000mg of Urolithin A daily for effectiveness

If you choose to supplement with Urolithin A, the effective dose used across the studies is 1000mg per day.

Evaluate cost-effectiveness of Urolithin A supplementation

Although benefits are shown with Urolithin A supplementation, the benefits are often very small and likely not worth the money for most people.

Shift focus to functional outcomes in Urolithin A research

Research on Urolithin A typically focuses on mechanisms and gene improvements rather than functional outcomes like feeling less pain or moving more normally.
