Ursolic Acid toxicity question

Hey PA,

Maybe this has been asked before, but I'm about 2 weeks into Ur spray (which I anecdotally love so far) and I was looking at some more ursolic acid research when I saw that UA has some data showing it is cardioprotective, while other data shows that it induces destruction of endothelial cells. I realize the latter was in vitro, but is it not of a concern when applying a spray that is supposedly going directly into systemic circulation and making direct contact with the endothelium?

The plasma half-life of UA is ~4 hours as you know, and the studying showing endothelial DSBs and apoptosis only required 6 hours of incubation.

So my question is: has this concern been addressed before (sorry if I missed it) and would once per day dosing be considered safer since there is less endothelial exposure to UA in such a protocol?

Also, out of curiosity since I also bought 2 Pump Sprays: essentially all of the data I'm looking at shows UA inhibits vascularization (including non-cancer specific lines). How does it work to promote the opposite effect in Pump Spray?

Not looking to create any trouble, I just have a long UA run slated for the coming months and health is always in the front of my mind. I figured I could either spend the next several hours poring over data or simply pose a question here since you're probably the resident expert on UA.

Thanks
 
Coop why are you takin ursolic acid? Primarily to build muscle? I have read that it was shown to cause DNA damage...

I'm taking it to evaluate its effects on body composition. This very thread is actually about the DNA damage (DSB = double strand DNA break).
 
Oh ok. If you continue to use UR be sure to write a review on the composition changes that you noticed.

the atherosclerosis issue has been debated on this board and on phf. maybe someone can find a link for you

as far as ursolic and neovascularization here are two references

While we are talking about technical questions on the pump spray, does it activate AMPK?
