If you want a winning strategy for longevity, fix your mitochondria. Why? Mitochondrial damage is a root cause of nagging issues with your muscles, brain, gut, and skin.
Upping your intake of foods like fresh blueberries, grass-fed beef, broccoli, and spinach should be your number one mitochondria-supporting strategy, but most of us still need a little help. That’s why I take Mitopure by Timeline, a supplement designed to fill in the gaps in even the best diet.
Now I’ve been taking Mitopure for years, but they’ve recently upped their game with a new, sugar-free strawberry gummy. Just two gummies provides the recommended dose of urolithin A, a compound that supports mitochondrial health by removing old, damaged mitochondria and rebuilding new ones.
If you want to take the next step in supercharging your cellular energy, Mitopure is offering my Mark’s Kitchen readers a Free 3-Day Starter Kit of their new Mitopure Gummies, while supplies last. There’s never been a better time to level up your mitochondrial health, so jump on this offer while you can!
