That's quite an extensive list of issues and mitigations. I did purchase some Urolithin A prior to my official diagnosis in April 2024. My surgeons asked me to backoff my rather comprehensive list of supplements prior to the surgery. I ended up in the hospital for months and I have only resumed a small number of my original list of supplements. The Whipple changed my gut such that I have problems extracting nutrients from my food. It's a daily challenge to eat enough to just hold my weight. I very much appreciate your comprehensive extract of issues and mitigations. I hope to resume applying them on a daily basis in the near future.

Urolithin A should not conflict with anything, from what I’ve noticed. It causes defective mitochondria to get replaced in basically every cell across the body.

I would encourage taking GlyNAC, taurine, and ergothioneine to bring up your antioxidants, as well. The beauty of these is that the first two are not antioxidants—they are just the missing elements to let your body make its own, where needed. They are amino acids we stop making and utilizing properly. With GlyNAC, we make glutathione. With taurine and a small amount of manganese, copper, and zinc, we make three types of superoxide dismutase (SOD1, SOD2, and SOD3).

Ergothioneine is a back antioxidant that covers when those two types are not available. It lasts nearly four weeks. Every cell has an ion channel pathway to deliver mitochondria to a spot that takes the most oxidation hits. Only a supplement called MitoQ can otherwise get there, and it just lasts a day. You can get ergothioneine from maiitake, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms, but the absolute highest amount is from yellow oyster mushrooms and porcini, porcini being nearly 7X more than the first three and yellow oyster being nearly 4X higher than the first three.

You can also get it in a Double Wood supplement for $10 a bottle at Amazon and it’s a best buy, in my review, and we take that.

You can find these in a title or keyword search on Free Republic. I would do both, as I rarely put in keywords but didn’t get the terms added to all titles, either.

There are simple things to do to help.
