Urolithin A powder is a metabolic compound produced by gut bacteria converting ellagitannin, an inducer of mitophagy. Urolithin A switches mitochondria from CI-driven respiration to CII-driven respiration, extending lifespan and improving muscle function. It belongs to a class of organic compounds known as benzocoumarins or dibenzo-alpha-pyrone. Its precursors -- ellagic acid and ellagitannins -- are ubiquitous in nature, including edible plants like pomegranates, strawberries, raspberries, and walnuts. Urolithin A has been the subject of preliminary studies regarding its possible biological effects since the 2000s.
Ellagitannins exhibit low bioavailability and are converted to ellagic acid and its microbiota metabolites in the gut.Urolithin A has potential applications in the areas of aging, muscle health, and neurodegenerative diseases. Animal studies have shown that urolithin A supplementation can improve muscle strength and endurance and delay age-related muscle loss. In addition, urolithin A has been shown to reduce the accumulation of damaged proteins in the brain and may have potential therapeutic applications in diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
