Ursolic Acid is known for its body recomposition properties. This has led to a surge in the R&D of ursolic acid capsules and supplements for the enhancement of muscle mass and fat reduction.

The amount of misinformation in these comment section is appalling. Truly scientific understanding in America is dead, dead, dead.

What would be a safe and adequate daily dose of Ursolic Acid for a 70-year old woman (50 kg weight) with extremely weak muscles (with frequent spontaneous ruptures in the thighs)? Only diagnosis: severe invalidating fibromyalgia. Which brand do you recommend? I would be very grateful for a reply.

Apple Peels and rosemary are the highest sources of UA
The new research paper also demonstrates how the plant-based chemicals work together. Combining ursolic acid with either curcumin or resveratrol prevents cancer cells from gobbling something that they need to grow, glutamine. This is a neat solution: blocking the uptake of a nutrient needed by prostate cancer cells with nutrients that are commonly in the human diet.

I take resveratrol daily. Ursolic acid causes DNA damage which makes supplementation risky. I prefer the “trace” level ursolic acid that is in apples, cranberries, prunes and oregano. Anything that interferes with fertility is not a good candidate for supplementation, IMV. Eat too many apples, cranberries or prunes and your body will respond badly and appropriately. Another way to overcome the estrogen pathway of pregnenolone is to add pickled common white mushrooms to your daily diet. They inhibit the production of aromatase that coverts testosterone to estrogen. Stinging nettle will also inhibit SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin). For males, after that its exercise and lifestyle. Lay off the alcohol. Get plenty of sleep. Run or bike or lift or yoga every day if you can. 50mg/day of DHEA is a cheap alternative too, but probably unnecessary if you are 20-40 yrs old. . :)

Interested to see if substances are discovered in ursolic acid-containing foods that mitigate the negative effects of ursolic acid in the body.

if you don’t recommend labrada labs, which is a brand that you approve of?

Sigh, no distinction made between UA sources especially basil vs apple peel. Basil is NOT the preferred source of UA and is used by Labrada due to being cheaper. Apple peel triterpenoids are most unlikely to induce DNA injury nor to impair cardiac processes in any way. See Pub Med studies and there is some similarity in effects to sea cucumber.

If Ursolic Acid suppresses STAT3, but increases IFNy activation of macrophages and their respective cytokines would this still be suitable for a Th1/Th17 immune profile?

The sun is a big ball of burning gas and ursolic acid in supplement form, is man made and in unnatural amounts which seems kind of different?

In reply to Bob. Yes.

So it does more good than harm then is that what you are saying, just the right amount of sun so you dont get sunburnt, so small amounts?

In reply to Bob. Well, the sun also damages your DNA but you want to be in the sun.

If it can damage your DNA why would you want to use it self hacked
