And then after that, it's probably, you know, just as a whole, you know, cinnamon, fenugreek, and gymnosia are probably the next.

And mulberry leaf is good too.

We love pomegranates.

Well, pomegranates have a lot of benefits.

One, they're incredibly high in fiber, and they're incredibly high in antioxidants.

So they're lower glycemic, similar to berries.

Yep.

But pomegranates have a unique compound called allergic acid.

It's also found in raspberries and to a degree in walnuts and pecans, but higher levels in pomegranates and raspberries.

And this is a compound that about half of people can convert very well to something called urolithin A. And urolithin A is something people are buying today.

But here's the cool thing about elegic acid from pomegranates.

It not only turns into urolithin A, it turns into urolithin B, C, D, E. There are many, many more of these phytonutrients of urolithins that have many, many benefits.

And so these are things that people maybe haven't even heard of before.

But that's why pomegranate, it's a whole food source.

You're going to get a much, much wider range of benefits than taking just a plain old urolithin A supplement.

And this is really important for what we call mitochondrial biogenesis.

It's great for recycling your mitochondria, for taking those damaged parts of damaged cells, recreating mitochondria.

Our mitochondria are the engines or power plants of our cells that give us energy, that gives our cells and all of our organs energy.

So a lot of conditions today are tied to mitochondrial dysfunction.
