Mitopure®, the nutrient that can re‑energize cells
As we age, our cells age. Mitopure® is the first postbiotic nutrient shown to trigger a crucial recycling process within our cells called mitophagy, targeting age-related cellular decline*.
~90% of our cellular energy is produced by mitochondria
Mitochondria are our cellular powerhouses. The trillions of cells that comprise our body tissues run on the energy created by them.
Mitochondria are the bedrock of good health
Healthy cells rely on healthy mitochondria. Their optimal function leads to incredible health benefits, and is particularly essential to heart, kidney, eye, brain, skin and muscle function. Our clinical science to date has focused on muscle health as muscle cells have a very large number of mitochondria and on skin health, as the largest organ in our body.
Digestive system
The digestive system is essential to human well-being. Mitochondrial health has been associated with improved gut barrier health, a reduced risk of fatty liver disease, improved kidney function and lower risk of glucose intolerance.
Brain
The human brain uses about 25% of the human body’s metabolic energy and is particularly sensitive to the aging process. A growing number of scientists are looking into the contributions of mitochondria in brain health with preliminary studies suggesting they could be key players in brain disorders.
Immune system
The immune system protects us from infections and from excessive inflammation. With age, its control loosens up. Evidence is rising on the importance of mitochondria to reduce inflammation with aging, also known as inflamm-aging.
Heart
A 2018 report reviewed recent evidence implicating mitochondrial dysfunction in the development of heart failure. “Oxidative metabolism in mitochondria is the main energy source of the heart, and the inability to generate and transfer energy has long been considered the primary mechanism linking mitochondrial dysfunction and contractile failure.”
Joints
Joints are key for our mobility. The cells required to keep our joints functional progressively decline in function, and so do their mitochondria. These powerhouses need to be renewed and nourished to keep our joints healthy. There is emerging science around the link between mitochondria and arthritis.
Skeletal muscle
During strenuous exercise, the rate of energy use in skeletal muscles can increase by more than 100-fold almost instantly. To meet this energy demand, muscle cells contain mitochondria. Our clinical studies have shown improved muscle strength and endurance as a result of improved mitochondrial function.
Skin
Skin, our largest organ and interface with the world, requires a lot of energy to combat aging, which mitochondria provide. As we age, dysfunctional mitochondria lead to reduced energy production, cellular decline, and skin signs of aging like sagginess, dullness, wrinkles, and weakened skin barrier. This can impact our overall health. Our clinical studies reveal enhanced mitochondrial function, improving skin cellular energy, youthfulness, resilience, and overall health.

As we age, mitochondrial function declines
Our mitochondria are constantly renewed to produce energy and fulfill the vast energy demands of muscle, skin and other tissues. As we get older, mitochondrial renewal declines and dysfunctional mitochondria accumulate in the cells, resulting in significant issues.
Insufficient energy supply
Production of harmful molecules
Reduced cellular health
This decline starts earlier than you might think
Age-associated mitochondrial decline leads to a progressive decline in our metabolism, our overall energy levels, our resiliency, our skin health and our muscle function.

Healthy cells rely on a powerful recycling process
A process called mitophagy cleans up defective mitochondria and allows the mitochondria to repair themselves and improve their performance. This recycling and cleansing mechanism is proven to provide valuable health benefits.
Better mitochondria quality
Improved cellular health
Improved muscle strength
Improved skin health
Meet Urolithin A, a rare molecule that renews our cellular powerhouses
Our scientists unlocked the power of Urolithin A, a molecule that stimulates this crucial recycling and cleansing process - ultimately protecting cells from age-associated decline.
