Time to exhaustion on a treadmill test trended longer but didn't reach statistical significance, and oxidative stress markers after a single dose moved in mixed directions.

That's what the label means by \"emulsified to enhance the absorption of CoQ10.\" We haven't published an absorption study of this exact capsule, so read that as design reasoning, not a measured result.

cholecalciferol (D3), the form your skin makes. The 25 mcg here is 1,000 IU. NIH sets the adult target at 15 mcg through age 70 and 20 mcg after, with an upper limit of 100 mcg a day from all sources. A meta-analysis of head-to-head trials found D3 raised blood vitamin D levels more than D2 overall, but when dosing schedules were compared the edge held for large, infrequent doses and disappeared with daily dosing like this (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/22552031\/\"\u003eTripkovic 2012\u003c\/a\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eB12 is methylcobalamin, one of the two coenzyme forms the body runs on. Research hasn't shown one supplemental B12 form beats another; after 50, the point is getting B12 in supplement form at all. Folate comes from calcium folinate, a reduced folate that skips the conversion steps folic acid needs before your body can use it. Thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, B6, biotin and pantothenic acid round out the B vitamins that support normal energy metabolism.† Vitamin E is d-alpha-tocopherol, the form found in food, and vitamin K is K2 as MK-7, a long-lasting menaquinone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMinerals, mostly bound to amino acids or citrate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinc is bound to methionine, selenium comes as selenomethionine, and chromium, molybdenum and magnesium are amino acid chelates.

Research points to the body's stress-response system, which sets your cortisol rhythm. In a 60-day trial in 60 stressed but healthy adults, 240 mg a day of a different ashwagandha extract lowered clinician-rated worry and tension scores, and morning cortisol, more than placebo; a self-rated stress scale only trended that way (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/31517876\/\"\u003eLopresti 2019\u003c\/a\u003e). A review that pooled 12 trials in healthy men and women found ashwagandha outperformed placebo on physical performance measures (strength and power, cardiorespiratory fitness, fatigue and recovery), though the authors call for more comparable studies (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/33670194\/\"\u003eBonilla 2021\u003c\/a\u003e).

Your body makes its own. In organ tissue from people aged one day to 81 years, CoQ10 in most organs peaked around age 20 and declined steadily after (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/2779364\/\"\u003eKalén 1989\u003c\/a\u003e).

Brain cells use them to build phosphatidylcholine, a main ingredient in cell membranes, and choline is also the raw material for acetylcholine, a messenger that attention and memory circuits rely on.† Cognizin, from Kyowa Hakko Bio, is the citicoline used in both studies below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a small 6-week study with no placebo group, 16 healthy adults (average age 47) took 500 mg or 2,000 mg of Cognizin a day, and brain scans showed higher energy reserves in the frontal lobe, including a 14% rise in a measure that mostly reflects ATP, the molecule cells spend as energy (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/18816480\/\"\u003eSilveri et al., 2008\u003c\/a\u003e). In a 12-week placebo-controlled trial of 100 healthy adults aged 50 to 85 with mild, age-related memory changes, the 49 who took 500 mg a day improved more than the placebo group on episodic memory (remembering pairs of items) and an overall memory score (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/33978188\/\"\u003eNakazaki et al., 2021\u003c\/a\u003e).

In a pilot trial of 41 healthy adults aged 18 to 45, a single 1.8 g dose made people faster on one attention test an hour later, 28 days of use brought a trend toward lower self-reported stress that just missed statistical significance, and several other measures didn't change (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/38004235\/\"\u003eDocherty et al., 2023\u003c\/a\u003e).

Each serving provides 7.5 mg of the pair, printed on the panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn test tubes, VPP and IPP weakly slow ACE, an enzyme in the renin-angiotensin system, the hormone loop your body uses to set how tightly blood vessels squeeze.

Urolithin A supports that recycling process.†\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe human evidence for the mechanism comes from muscle, because muscle is packed with mitochondria and easy to sample. In the first human study, 4 weeks at 500 mg or 1,000 mg a day shifted blood and muscle markers of mitochondrial health in healthy, sedentary older adults (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/32694802\/\"\u003eAndreux et al., 2019\u003c\/a\u003e). In a 4-month trial, the 500 mg daily dose raised the active form of Parkin, one of the proteins that marks a mitochondrion for recycling, in muscle samples (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/35584623\/\"\u003eSingh et al., 2022\u003c\/a\u003e). It doesn't add energy from the outside; it supports maintenance your cells already do.†\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the human trials found\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrength in middle age.\u003c\/strong\u003e In a 4-month randomized, placebo-controlled trial, 88 sedentary adults aged 40 to 64 took 500 mg, 1,000 mg or placebo daily. Average hamstring strength improved about 12% in the 500 mg group and 9.8% in the 1,000 mg group, both significant compared with placebo, while the placebo group's strength dropped. The trial's main goal, peak power output on a bike, did not differ from placebo (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/35584623\/\"\u003eSingh et al., 2022\u003c\/a\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEndurance after 65.\u003c\/strong\u003e In a 4-month trial in 66 adults aged 65 to 90, half took 1,000 mg a day and half took placebo. Endurance in a hand muscle and a leg muscle (contractions until fatigue) improved with urolithin A compared with placebo at 2 months. The trial's two main goals, 6-minute walk distance and peak muscle energy production, did not differ from placebo (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/35050355\/\"\u003eLiu et al., 2022\u003c\/a\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the research doesn't show\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlenty, and you should know it. In a 4-week trial in 42 highly trained male distance runners, 1,000 mg a day did not improve 3,000 m time-trial results, though effort ratings and a blood marker of muscle damage after the time trial were lower than with placebo (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/40839339\/\"\u003eWhitfield et al., 2025\u003c\/a\u003e). If you're 28 and already training hard, this probably isn't your first purchase. The longest trials cited here ran 4 months, so they can't tell you what years of use look like. Every study cited here had co-authors from the company that developed the ingredient they tested. And none of them tested this exact bottle: they tested urolithin A itself at 500 mg and 1,000 mg a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy 500 mg in one capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e500 mg is the lower of the two daily amounts in the 4-month middle-aged trial, and that group's hamstring strength gain (about 12%) was in the same range as the 1,000 mg group's (9.8%). One honest caveat: the trial in adults over 65 used only 1,000 mg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to take Urolithin A\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel directions: \"Take 1 capsule daily, as a dietary supplement.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the middle-aged trial, people took urolithin A in the morning before breakfast with water (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/35584623\/\"\u003eSingh et al., 2022\u003c\/a\u003e).

Urolithin A isn't a stimulant, so there's no jolt to feel. The trials measured muscle endurance at 2 months and strength at 4 months, so give it two to four months of daily use before you judge it.†\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan't I just eat more pomegranates?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEat them anyway, but they may not get you much urolithin A. Pomegranates contain the raw material, not urolithin A itself, and only some people's gut bacteria convert it well. A 500 mg serving of urolithin A gave more than six times the exposure of a glass of pomegranate juice (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/34117375\/\"\u003eSingh et al., 2021\u003c\/a\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I take it with NMN + NR or CoQ10?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe haven't found a published trial that tested urolithin A together with NMN, NR or CoQ10, so we can't promise the combination adds up to more. People pair them because they work on different parts of the same system: urolithin A supports recycling worn-out mitochondria, NMN and NR are building blocks for NAD+, which mitochondria use to make energy, and CoQ10 works inside the energy-making chain itself.† Taking medication?

The middle-aged trial excluded people taking statins, blood thinners, steroids or thyroid medication, so there is no trial data for those combinations. In the two 4-month trials, adverse events with urolithin A were similar to placebo (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/35050355\/\"\u003eLiu et al., 2022\u003c\/a\u003e; \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/35584623\/\"\u003eSingh et al., 2022\u003c\/a\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs urolithin A a probiotic?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It's often called a postbiotic: a compound that gut bacteria make, rather than the bacteria themselves.
