Hi Anna, You might also consider using Astaxanthin along with the Urolithin A because it also helps with muscle mitochondrial function and is a very potent inhibitor of the high level inflammatory mediator, NF Kappa beta (NF Kappa b) which is overactivated by Lyme disease bacteria and results in a significantly reduced inflammatory response.
I wrote about my personal experience with the benefit of Astaxanthin for improving my walking performance relatively quickly with backing studies here :

Astaxanthin is also helpful when exercise is first started to help the muscles cope with the new stress they take on as discussed in the following literature :

Here is a relevant quote from the link :
' Previous research conducted in both in vitro cell-cultures and in vivo animal models provide evidence to support the use of astaxanthin as a dietary supplement for recreationally active individuals and athletes. According to these models, exercise metabolism, performance and recovery is improved following 3–5 weeks of intake; with each function attributed in part to the potent antioxidant capacity of this xanthophyll carotenoid. '
Good luck to both of you!
