What is Urolithin  A?

Urolithin A is a compound produced by the metabolism of Ellagitannins in food by gut microbiota, Commonly found in foods such as pomegranate, strawberry, walnut, raspberry, etc. Researches shown that it has potential health benefits such as anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, and mitochondrial protection.etc

Mechanism of action

Urolithin A can activate cells to clear damaged mitochondria, thereby maintaining cellular energy metabolism efficiency. In addition, it reduces inflammation by inhibiting the NF - κ B pathway and enhances the activity of antioxidant enzymes (such as superoxide dismutase),reduce the damage of free radicals to cells.

What food contains Urolithin A?

Natural foods almost do not contain Urolithin,  urolithin A is produced by the metabolism of tannic acid in the human gut microbiota. The following are common foods rich in urolith precursors that can be synthesized into Urolithin in the body after consumption: fruits such as pomegranate and berries, nuts such as walnuts, pistachios, walnuts, cashews, etc. all contain urolith A precursors, which can be synthesized in the body after consumption.

Potential benefits

l Anti aging+cell protection: Experiments have shown that urolithin A can promote mitochondrial renewal,may delay age-related functional decline.

l Muscle heath:  Improve muscle endurance and reduce the accumulation of lactate after exercise.

l Metabolic function: studies show that it may improve insulin sensitivity and reduce fat accumulation in obesity models.
