If you didn't know, mitochondria are often called the "powerhouse" because most of the energy your muscle cells need during aerobic running is supplied by mitochondria. This is why one of the primary goals of all the runs we do is to increase the amount of new mitochondria in our cells and to increase their efficiency. But, now there's a new way to also improve your mitochondria - Mitopure from time-line nutrition. Mitopure restores mitochondrial function, so every cell in your body has the energy to do its job and keep you healthy and functioning right. In fact, clinical studies have shown that 500mg of Urolithin, one of the main ingredients in Mitopure, can significantly increase muscle strength & endurance with no other change in lifestyle. Mitopure comes in powder form to mix into your favorite smoothie or softgels to make them easy to take. Improving your mitochondria is one of the best things you can do for your health and with Mitopure from time-line nutrition, it has never been easier.
