MitoSpark formulated by Dr Turnpaugh and Dr West contains Urolithin A and Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AKG).
Urolithin A is a gut microbiome-derived metabolite from ellagitannins (found in foods like pomegranates). It's known for its ability to promote cellular health and has several potential benefits:
- Improved Cellular Energy: Enhances the recycling of damaged cellular powerhouses, boosting energy production.
- Anti-Aging: Supports muscle strength and endurance, particularly in aging individuals.
- Anti-Inflammatory: Reduces systemic inflammation linked to chronic diseases.
- Cognitive Health: Emerging evidence suggests neuroprotective effects.
Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AKG) is a critical intermediate in a key cellular energy pathway. Its supplementation has shown benefits, including:
- Longevity: Extends lifespan and health span in preclinical models by reducing inflammatory markers and supporting metabolic health.
- Bone Health: Improves bone density and reduces age-related bone loss.
- Energy Production: Enhances ATP production and overall metabolic efficiency.
- Tissue Repair: Supports recovery and repair, particularly in muscle and connective tissues.
Combined Benefits:
When combined, Urolithin A and AKG can synergistically enhance cellular energy production and metabolism, offering a powerful intervention for aging, physical performance, and metabolic health. Together, they:
• Amplify anti-aging effects by addressing both cellular health and systemic inflammation. • Support enhanced physical performance and endurance by improving energy utilization. • Optimize cellular repair and recovery.
