Happy St. Patrick’s Day ☘️
It may be much more celebrated outside of Ireland than in it, but it can be a fun time to revisit an old health claim…

In today’s email we cover the link between microplastics in your brain and Alzheimer’s & Parkinson’s, Guinness, and knee pain.
Not quite as strong as you used to be? It’s not just about muscle mass, but also about mitochondrial function, without which your muscles can’t do much.

Science Links Mitochondria & Muscle Strength
As we age, our muscles naturally lose mass, strength, and functionality, which can lead to fatigue and weakness beginning as early as our 30s.
Recent studies indicate that our mitochondria—the cellular powerhouses that generate 90% of our energy—play a crucial role in this decline, contributing to reduced muscle function as we age.
A new way to support and improve muscle health as we age, Mitopure® by Timeline is clinically shown to meaningfully boost our mitochondrial health to improve muscle strength, without any change in exercise required.
Ready to feel stronger, for longer with Mitopure?
