Back in January, I had the literal luxury of trying Timeline’s Skin Health Prestige Box, which was the first time I had ever heard about Mitopure®—the first and only highly pure, clinically validated Urolithin A ingredient.
Having seen the benefits of Timeline firsthand in the mirror (my skin felt completely renewed), I needed to know more. How exactly does this whole “Urolithin A” thing work? How does Mitopure® reinvigorate our cells for better performance, recovery, and resilience?
I spoke with Timeline’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Anurag Singh, MD PhD—a physician-researcher and leading expert on healthy aging—who shared with me how Timeline is pioneering mitochondrial rejuvenation from the outside in and the inside out. With over 50 clinical trials under his belt, he's a pioneer in researching the importance of mitochondrial health, muscle as an organ of longevity, and the transformative role of the game-changing longevity molecule, Urolithin A.
TQE: Why aren’t more people talking about Urolithin A?
DAS: Urolithin A (Mitopure®) is rapidly becoming one of the most popular healthy aging products, but rigorous science takes time—over a decade in our case. It’s one of the most clinically studied molecules in the longevity space, and we’re just getting started.
TQE: What would an ideal Timeline regimen look like? Feel free to break down the different products, use cases, and how they all work together.
DAS: For an optimal Timeline regimen powered by Mitopure®, we recommend pairing our daily longevity supplement with our targeted topical skincare. The supplement works systemically to enhance cellular health throughout your body, while our skincare provides focused benefits directly to your skin. This dual approach ensures comprehensive support from both inside out and outside in, setting our regimen apart from others in the field.
TQE: How does applying Mitopure® topically differ from ingesting it?
DAS: Applying Mitopure® topically targets the skin cells directly, targeting collagen-boosting pathways in skin, which results in the reduction of skin wrinkles and improved skin hydration.
A big contributor to skin aging is UV sunlight exposure, which leads to chronic inflammation in the human skin. Mitopure® topical application dampens this skin’s inflammatory response, leading to less skin redness, and it protects from UV-mediated skin damage. In the long run, this leads to healthier, well-nourished skin.
In contrast, ingesting Mitopure® delivers systemic benefits, enhancing mitochondrial function throughout the body, which can improve energy, endurance, and overall cellular health. This two-pronged approach ensures both targeted and comprehensive benefits.
TQE: What are the core signs of aging? How does inflammaging occur over time?
DAS: The core signs of aging can be seen both externally and internally.
Externally, signs include wrinkles, decreased skin elasticity, and changes in pigmentation. Internally, aging is marked by a gradual decline in organ function, loss of muscle mass, and decreased bone density.
Inflammaging refers to the chronic, low-grade inflammation that often accompanies aging. This phenomenon can stem from several sources, including cellular damage, an accumulation of pro-inflammatory factors, a less effective immune system, and persistent stress on the body. Over time, this low-level inflammation can contribute to the development of age-related diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease, exacerbating the aging process.
TQE: What should people expect to feel or see from using Mitopure® for an extended period of time?
DAS: Tens of thousands of customers are consistently experiencing benefits that mirror what we have observed in our gold-standard, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical studies. Using Mitopure® consistently over an extended period can provide several noticeable benefits that address these age-related changes. Here’s what users might typically expect:
• Starting in the first month (30 days), regular Mitopure® intake leads to an overhaul of cellular health, where faulty mitochondria that produce little-to-no-energy are replaced by healthier, more energy-producing mitochondria.
• Regular use up to 2-3 months of oral Mitopure® leads to increased and sustained energy production in the body, which results in better endurance. Individuals would notice less fatigue, for example, after an exercise bout and less muscle soreness.
• Increased Muscle Strength after 4 months and beyond: Users may notice improvements in muscle strength (for example of their leg muscles) during walking or exercise, making everyday activities easier and enhancing exercise capacity and recovery.
• Enhanced Cellular Health and decreased inflammaging with longer sustained use: Mitopure® is known for its role in mitochondrial function, which is critical for energy production and cellular health. Over time, this can lead to increased energy levels and potentially slower rates of physical decline associated with aging. Regular Mitopure® blunts the inflammatory response in the body that can happen with stress, poor diet or simply after an intense bout of exercise.
• Improved Skin Health: For those using topical products containing Mitopure®, improvements in skin texture, elasticity, diminishing of skin wrinkles, and overall appearance might be visible, as the compound helps rejuvenate skin cells by optimizing mitochondrial function and enhancing collagen formation. This dual action not only revitalizes the skin, but also strengthens its structure, leading to a more youthful and vibrant appearance.
TQE: How does Mitopure® promote better recovery overall?
DAS: Mitopure® promotes better recovery in several key ways, largely due to its impact on mitochondrial function and cellular health:
- Enhanced Mitochondrial Function: Mitopure stimulates mitophagy, the process of removing damaged mitochondria and replacing them with healthier ones. This leads to more efficient energy production and reduced cellular stress, which are crucial for recovery after physical exertion or illness.
- Reduction of Inflammation: By improving mitochondrial function, Mitopure can help reduce the low-level inflammation often associated with aging and physical stress. Less inflammation means faster recovery from workouts, injuries, and other stressors.
- Muscle Health: Mitopure has been shown to support muscle strength and endurance. By enhancing muscle function and reducing muscle damage, it facilitates quicker recovery and better muscle performance over time.
TQE: How can Mitopure® affect one’s aging process?
DAS: Mitopure® addresses the key root causes of aging, including the decline of cellular energy production and increased inflammation, which can lead to fatigue, weaker muscles, aged skin, and other invisible and visible signs of aging.
TQE: How would you suggest incorporating Mitopure® into your daily wellness regimen?
DAS: Longevity Supplement: Start your day with our proprietary Mitoceutical, which is available in capsule or powder form. This ensures a direct intake of highly pure Urolithin A to boost mitochondrial health and cellular function from the inside. We recommend taking 2 or 4 capsules per day with your breakfast, but you can also take it in a fasted state and later in the day. It isn’t a stimulant like caffeine.
The Serum: Incorporate the Timeline Serum into your morning skincare routine. This potent serum delivers Urolithin A directly to your skin, promoting elasticity, reducing fine lines, and enhancing overall skin health.
The Day Cream: Follow up with the Timeline Day Cream, which provides essential hydration and protection from environmental stressors throughout the day. This cream further supports the skin’s natural renewal process, leaving it smooth, radiant, and youthful-looking.
The Night Cream: In the evening, apply the Timeline Night Cream before bed. This rich formula works overnight to nourish and repair the skin, optimizing cellular rejuvenation while you sleep for a refreshed and revitalized complexion in the morning.
