The Mitochondrial Crisis
By 2025, our collective mitochondrial health was at an all-time low. But in 2026, Urolithin A has emerged as the definitive answer. This molecule doesn't just "boost" energy; it triggers Mitophagy—the cellular process of identifying and recycling damaged mitochondria.
Beyond the Pomegranate
For years, we told people to drink pomegranate juice. The problem? Only 30-40% of the population has the specific gut microbiome required to convert pomegranate ellagitannins into Urolithin A. In 2026, we skip the middleman. Standardized supplementation ensures everyone gets the precise dose needed for clinical results.
The 2026 Muscle Protocol
- Dose: 500mg daily.
- Timing: Morning on an empty stomach to prime cellular pathways.
- Result: Clinical studies in early 2026 showed a 12% increase in muscle strength and a 17% increase in endurance compared to placebo—without changing exercise volume.
Action Plan: The 90-Day Renewal
Don't expect overnight miracles. Mitophagy takes time. Start with a 500mg dose daily for 3 months to fully "reboot" your cellular power plants.
