Exciting new research via Amazentis just published in JAMA showing that Mitopure (Urolithin A) has a significant impact on muscle endurance.
Urolithin A is a byproduct of a person's gut bacteria and a diet comprising polyphenols found in pomegranates, berries and nuts.
Randomized trial finds the gut microbiome metabolite urolithin A enhanced muscle endurance and improved mitochondrial health in older adults. Study highlights potential role of mitophagy activation to improve muscle health. ja.ma/3fGNuTh

It is unconscionable for a single outrageously priced drug to drive up premiums for all Medicare beneficiaries, many of whom are already struggling to make ends meet. Now that the drugmaker has cut the price in half, the Medicare Part B premium increase should be lowered as well.
The HHS secretary has called on @CMSgov to reconsider a large increase in #Medicare Part B premiums after Biogen slashed the price of its Alzheimer’s drug.
The 14.5% increase for 2022 ranks among the steepest in the past 20 years. kff.org/medicare/slide/month…

AARP is fighting to give Medicare the power to negotiate lower drug prices, which new @KFF research shows will mean big savings for seniors and Medicare Part D.
Older Americans can’t afford to keep paying the highest drug prices in the world.
NEW: Allowing Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices would could lower premiums for #PartD enrollees by an estimated $39 annually in 2023, increasing to $85 in 2029. That translates to savings of 9% of the projected premium in 2023 and 15% in 2029. kff.org/medicare/issue-brief…
