Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by progressive mitochondrial dysfunction affecting complexes I, III, and IV of the electron transport chain, contributing to axonal energy failure and neurodegeneration. This review examines the potential of combining β-hydroxybutyrate (βHB), epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), and ellagic acid (EA) as a multi-target therapeutic strategy to restore mitochondrial function in patients with MS. Experimental and clinical studies demonstrate that each compound exerts complementary mechanisms. Ketone bodies provide an alternative energy substrate and restore complex I activity via sirtuin-dependent pathways. EGCG acts predominantly at the peripheral level by reducing systemic inflammation and oxidative stress. EA-derived urolithins effectively cross the blood–brain barrier to directly enhance mitochondrial biogenesis and respiratory chain function in the central nervous system. Clinical trials have reported improvements in fatigue, cognition, mood, and muscle function following supplementation with these compounds. The convergence of their actions on energy restoration, reactive oxygen species reduction, and epigenetic modulation of protective pathways suggests their synergistic potential. Optimized delivery strategies, including exogenous ketone salts, liposomal EGCG, and microencapsulated EA, may overcome bioavailability limitations and interindividual variability in the gut microbiota metabolism.
