This Compound Reverses Immune Aging — Here's Why Scientists Are Stunned
Dr. Mark Hyman explains urolithin A, a compound from pomegranate that clears damaged mitochondria and may reverse immune aging within one month.
The gist
-
Hyman says only 35 to 40 percent of people can naturally produce urolithin A from pomegranate, making supplementation worth considering for most.
-
Urolithin A increases naive T cells and improves their ability to recognize targets, which may benefit both general immunity and cancer therapies.
-
Mitochondrial health connects aging, muscle performance, immune function, and brain health, so improving it tends to help multiple systems at once.
-
When evaluating supplements, Hyman says to look for products with published data in major journals and real human clinical trials behind them.
