a. Clinical studies consistently find improvements in muscle strength and endurance in a varied subset of the population ranging from resistance-trained athletes in their 20s to middle-aged adults with an average BMI of 29.52.

b. Our clinical studies showed that sedentary adults aged 65–90 improved muscle endurance, measured as leg and hand repetitions to fatigue, after daily supplementation with 1,000 mg Mitopure®.

c. Our randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study showed that supplementation with Mitopure® 1,000 mg for 4 weeks was associated with improvements in mitochondrial health of immune cells, favorable shifts in T-cell populations (including naïve cells), and markers of healthy immune function, in healthy, middle-aged adults.

d. Our clinical study showed that trained runners reported lower rate of perceived exertion (RPE) after a 3000 m time trial after 4 weeks of daily supplementation with 1,000 mg Mitopure®, and lower creatine kinase (CK) levels at 1 and 24 hours post-exercise, compared with placebo.
