Urolithin A Powder Supplement Healthy Gut Bacteria Mitochondrial Support

Urolithin A is a metabolite compound resulting from the transformation of ellagitannins by the gut bacteria. It belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzo-coumarins or dibenzo-α-pyrones.

Urolithin A is not known to be found in any food source. Its bioavailability mostly depends on individual microbiota composition, as only some bacteria are able to convert ellagitannins into urolithins.

Urolithin A is a postbiotic that is synthesized by the body after eating certain foods high in polyphenols like pomegranates, berries, and nuts. Our ability to produce urolithin A varies substantially and many people are not able to produce it at all.

Urolithin A, which is made by bacteria in the gut microbiome, is a postbiotic synthesized after eating certain foods high in polyphenols, such as berries, nuts, and especially pomegranates. Postbiotics are by-products of the gut that can act as a health-promoting substance.

Our gut microbiome is as different as we are and varies through diet, age and genetics, so different individuals produce urolithin to varying degrees. People without bacteria in the Clostridiales and Ruminococcaceae families cannot produce urolithin A at all! Even those who can produce urolithin A don't produce nearly enough of it. In fact, only 1 in 3 people produce enough urolithin A.

According to research, Urolithin A, both extracted and synthesized have a variety of physiological activities, including anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, anti-tumor, improving muscle health, promoting mitochondrial function, and slowing down aging. At present, Urolithin A is also widely used in the fields of food, health care products and medicine, and is used as a natural pharmaceutical ingredient to prepare various health care products and medicines.
