The conversation also reviews research showing improvements in muscle power, strength, endurance and recovery with Urolithin A supplementation, alongside Angela's personal experience of noticing a decline in energy when she stopped taking it and improvements when she restarted. Key Takeaways Exercise naturally supports mitochondrial renewal and mitophagy. Mitophagy helps remove damaged mitochondria that can impair energy and recovery. Urolithin A is the only clinically validated supplement currently shown to specifically support mitophagy.
