Recovery evidence brief
Urolithin A is a postbiotic compound linked to pomegranate polyphenol metabolism. Claims usually center on mitochondrial health, muscle endurance, and healthy aging.
Human trials suggest possible mitochondrial and muscle-endurance effects in older or middle-aged adults, but translation to broader users is not established.
Older-adult RCTs report mitochondrial and endurance-marker signals; broad performance translation is unproven.
Published trials often use 500-1000 mg/day; products are highly specific and not interchangeable with pomegranate intake.
Longevity, muscle-gain, and endurance guarantees are not supported; most evidence is in older or middle-aged populations.

The score reflects evidence that the supplement does its stated job. Some jobs are direct, such as strength, endurance, or recovery; others are indirect, such as sleep, mood, appetite, or health support. A real effect can still receive a cautious practical rating when dose, safety, product quality, or audience fit remain uncertain.
Send the disputed claim, source link, and why it changes the practical verdict. Corrections that materially affect the claim, dose, caveat, or rating are prioritized.
