Amazentis SA's Mitopure Nutrition Claims Scrutinized for Accuracy
Claims for Amazentis SA's Mitopure Nutrition Under Review
Recently, the BBB National Programs’ National Advertising Division (NAD) conducted an in-depth examination into the advertising claims made by Amazentis SA concerning its innovative product, Mitopure Cellular Nutrition. This review is part of periodic monitoring to ensure that claims made in the marketplace are truthful and well-supported by evidence.
Understanding Mitopure Cellular Nutrition
Mitopure Cellular Nutrition is designed to address age-related declines in muscle health and overall cellular function. Amazentis has championed this supplement as a solution to revitalize the body's cellular mechanisms, particularly targeting mitochondrial health, which is crucial for energy production and muscle performance.
Research Supporting Mitopure
Amazentis provided various studies focusing on the impact of aging on muscle performance and the benefits of exercise in older demographics. The NAD carefully reviewed these studies to determine if Mitopure indeed offers the advantages it claims when utilized as intended.
Evaluation of Cellular Performance Claims
Upon assessment, the NAD found compelling evidence backing some aspects of the claims associated with Mitopure. Notably, the assertion that it is "clinically proven to revitalize mitochondria" received some validation. However, the NAD suggested rephrasing certain statements for clarity. Specifically, claims about being "the first nutrient clinically-proven to trigger a crucial recycling process within our cells called mitophagy" needed adjustments to eliminate the reference to being the "first" when evidence did not adequately support that distinction.
Scrutiny of Muscle Function Claims
The evaluation extended to Amazentis’ claims about muscle function, particularly statements asserting that Mitopure could "boost muscle function" and that "muscle strength increases by up to 12% in 16 weeks." The NAD reviewed the existing studies and concluded that they were not sufficiently representative of the target audience, primarily focusing on non-athletic older adults.
Recommendations for Adjustments
As a result of this review, the NAD recommended modifying the claims regarding muscle function to truly reflect the study findings, specifically mentioning the subclass of obese, sedentary middle-aged participants. Moreover, to avoid misleading implications, the advertising context should not suggest that individuals with different body compositions could expect similar outcomes.
Additionally, the claim stating "muscle endurance increases by up to 15% after 8 weeks" was deemed unsupported and advised for discontinuation due to the dosages used in the studies exceeding the recommended level.
Amazentis Response
Amazentis expressed a willingness to comply with these recommendations while also indicating some disagreement with certain elements of the NAD’s analysis. They agreed to modify claims relating to muscle strength increases to align with the study results, treating the voluntarily discontinued claim in a manner consistent with NAD's recommendation.
