Urolithin A (Urolithin A)
Synopsis
Urolithin A is a postbiotic compound produced in the gut from ellagitannins—polyphenols found in foods like pomegranates, walnuts, and berries—through microbial metabolism. It is best known for its ability to stimulate mitophagy, the process by which damaged mitochondria are cleared and recycled. Urolithin A supports healthy aging, muscle function, and mitochondrial health, and is commonly used in longevity and cellular energy formulas.
