Odd-chain saturated fatty acid identified as essential. Strengthens cell membranes by integrating into phospholipid bilayer, activates AMPK and PPAR-alpha/delta, and inhibits mTOR. Repairs mitochondrial function. Epidemiologically associated with reduced cardiometabolic disease.
Gut metabolite of ellagitannins that activates mitophagy — selective clearance of damaged mitochondria. Improves mitochondrial function, muscle endurance, and cellular energy production. Only ~40% of population can produce it endogenously.
