Urolithin A Exercise Performance Randomized TrialIndividuals with sarcopenia face a significantly elevated risk of falls, fractures, cognitive impairment, and functional dependency, leading to increased hospitalization rates, prolonged lengths of stay, and greater healthcare costs [,,].4Chin Hui San (2026)Molecular Mechanisms and Nutritional Modulation in Sarcopenia: A Narrative Review
Urolithin A Exercise Performance Randomized TrialThese disruptions converge on key processes such as reduced neuromuscular integrity, impaired energy metabolism, and blunted anabolic signaling, ultimately contributing to declines in muscle strength and function.4Chin Hui San (2026)Molecular Mechanisms and Nutritional Modulation in Sarcopenia: A Narrative Review
Urolithin A Exercise Performance Randomized TrialAs a narrative synthesis, formal systematic review methodology and risk-of-bias assessment, were not applied.4Chin Hui San (2026)Molecular Mechanisms and Nutritional Modulation in Sarcopenia: A Narrative Review
Urolithin A Exercise Performance Randomized Trial1 2 3 4 5 6 7 3 Sarcopenia, defined as the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, is widely acknowledged as a critical determinant of health outcomes in aging populations and patients with chronic disease.4Chin Hui San (2026)Molecular Mechanisms and Nutritional Modulation in Sarcopenia: A Narrative Review
Urolithin A Exercise Performance Randomized TrialProteomic screening of skeletal muscle biopsies revealed UA upregulated pathways associated with mitochondria, while downregulating inflammatory pathways.4Whitfield J (2025)Evaluating the Impact of Urolithin A Supplementation on Running Performance, Recovery, and Mitochondrial Biomarkers in Highly Trained Male Distance Runners.
Urolithin A Exercise Performance Randomized TrialWhile not statistically significant, UA led to a medium effect for increased markers of mitophagy (d = - 0.74), without changes in mitochondrial function.4Whitfield J (2025)Evaluating the Impact of Urolithin A Supplementation on Running Performance, Recovery, and Mitochondrial Biomarkers in Highly Trained Male Distance Runners.
Urolithin A Exercise Performance Randomized TrialHowever, despite a reduction in rating of exertion and increased aerobic capacity, UA supplementation did not further enhance performance in highly trained male endurance athletes.4Whitfield J (2025)Evaluating the Impact of Urolithin A Supplementation on Running Performance, Recovery, and Mitochondrial Biomarkers in Highly Trained Male Distance Runners.
Urolithin A Exercise Performance Randomized TrialBackground Urolithin A (UA) is a metabolite produced by gut bacteria following the consumption of ellagitannin-rich foods.4Whitfield J (2025)Evaluating the Impact of Urolithin A Supplementation on Running Performance, Recovery, and Mitochondrial Biomarkers in Highly Trained Male Distance Runners.
