Is it a genuine breakthrough or just another overhyped supplement? Mikki unpacks the research behind this postbiotic compound, how it supports mitophagy (the clean-up and renewal of mitochondria), and what human studies really show about its impact on strength, endurance, and inflammation. She explores its potential for midlife health, particularly during perimenopause, and weighs it against the proven benefits of exercise, fasting, and a nutrient-dense diet. Expect an evidence-based take on whether it’s worth adding to your stack — or just good marketing dressed in lab coat chic.\nHighlights:\nHow mitochondrial dysfunction drives aging and fatigue\nWhat Urolithin A is and how your gut bacteria make it\nHuman trials showing modest but measurable benefits\nWhy exercise still beats any supplement for mitochondrial health\nWho might actually benefit from Urolithin A supplementation","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/5uUjJw6NUZC5FWMQgLCI47ibFa6tBB2C0z8A_feCZiY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wNjI2/NTEwMjAyMWQ2M2Iy/ZjliYjA4ZGFhMTBh/N2E2Ni5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
