A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Effects of Mitopure (Urolithin A) on Skeletal Muscle Function, Iron Metabolism and Endurance Performance in Athletes
Abstract
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study enrolling 36 (16 Elite and 20 Sub-Elite trained endurance runners (18 placebo and 18 Mitopure intervention) who are 18-40 years of age. Mitopure or Placebo supplement, will be given as a daily oral dose for 4-weeks.
Conditions: Healthy.
Primary outcome: Change in plasma levels over time of creatine kinase (CK); Change in race performance time during a 3000 m track race in elite runners.
Enrollment: 42 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 42 participants or records.
