Urolithin-A is a metabolite derived from ellagitannins, which are polyphenolic compounds found in various fruits and nuts, particularly pomegranates, berries, and walnuts. Once ingested, ellagitannins are metabolized by gut bacteria into urolithins, with Urolithin-A being the most studied. This compound has gained attention for its potential health benefits, particularly in relation to aging, mitochondrial function, and overall cellular health.

   Supplemental Benefits of Urolithin-A:

Enhanced Physical Performance: Urolithin-A supplementation can improve exercise capacity and recovery by enhancing mitochondrial function and reducing muscle fatigue.

Aging and Longevity: By promoting cellular health and reducing oxidative stress, Urolithin-A may contribute to healthier aging and increased lifespan.

Cognitive Support: Regular intake of Urolithin-A may improve memory, focus, and overall cognitive function, particularly in older adults.

Metabolic Health: Urolithin-A may support metabolic health by improving insulin sensitivity and reducing inflammation, thus aiding in weight management and metabolic disorders.

  Forms and dosage:

Urolithin-A supplements are typically derived from:

Pomegranate Extract: Pomegranates are rich in ellagitannins, which are converted to Urolithin-A by gut bacteria.

Berries: Certain berries, such as raspberries and strawberries, also contain ellagitannins and can be a source of Urolithin-A.

Walnuts: Walnuts contain compounds that can be metabolized into Urolithin-A.

Fermented Products: Some supplements use fermentation processes to produce Urolithin-A directly.

  Daily dose: 250 – 500 mg
