Ursolic acid is a natural plant compound found in foods like apple peels and herbs, and it is often promoted for muscle growth, strength, fat loss, IGF-1, mTOR signaling, and exercise performance. In this episode, we look at the human research on ursolic acid supplements, including resistance training studies, muscle biopsy data, anabolic signaling, body fat changes, strength results, and possible side effects. Does ursolic acid really help people build muscle and get stronger, or is the evidence still too limited? Let’s break down what the science actually says.
Since the 1990s I’ve been sorting nutrition facts from fiction and helping people understand dietary supplements, using clinical research as my litmus test. I am independent and unbiased. I analyze the research so you don’t have to.
I wrotethe first book about exercise-induced rhabdomyolysis.
I have an MS in exercise science and a BS in biology & chemistry.
