A new study by cancer researchers in Germany demonstrates important immunological benefits of Urolithin A. Tests in human cells and in mice show Urolithin A boosts mitochondrial health and performance of cancer-fighting immune cells, raising the prospect of more effective treatments.

This study showed that treatment with Amazentis’ proprietary Urolithin A supplement, Mitopure, significantly improved the cancer-fighting properties of T-cells, a key part of the immune system.
Urolithin A renewed the energy factories of the T-cells via a cellular recycling pathway called mitophagy and so helped maintain their anti-cancer activity for longer.
Mice with colorectal tumors that were fed Urolithin A saw significantly reduced cancer growth, because of stronger T-cell antitumor properties.
A similar effect was seen in human cells. Human T-cells cultured with Urolithin A produced more T memory stem cells, potentially giving the immune cells more cancer-killing power.
