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.

I meant to write in this response “Ergothioneine is a basic antioxidant…” — not “back.”

I have a significant stash of NAC and taurine on hand. The ergothioneine is a new item that is not yet in my on-hand materials (although I do have many mushrooms in the supplies). I have a fair bit of niacin (full flush) in 250 mg capsules. It helps dysregulated mitochondrial respiration recover. That dysregulation was seen often during COVID. Quercetin with zinc was a daily item as well. The quercetin serves to drive the zinc inside cells where it alters the pH and make COVID replication unfavorable. Quercetin and fisetin also serve as senolytics to drive senescent cells to apoptosis.

Doublewood is my supplier of choice for a broccoli derived supplement called sulphoraphane. It made a significant difference in my lung recovery after the 2nd case of COVID. I have a bottle of the ergothioneine coming tomorrow from Amazon.
