How it works
Urolithin A is a powerful metabolite derived from ellagitannin-rich foods such as pomegranates, raspberries, strawberries, walnuts, and almonds. Unlike many nutrients, ellagitannins are not absorbed intact by the body. Instead, they are first broken down in the gut into ellagic acid, which is then converted by the gut microbiome into urolithin A and B. However, not everyone has the gut flora necessary to perform this conversion, and research shows that this ability declines with age. Urolithin A supplementation offers a solution, delivering the benefits of this compound directly to the body.
One of the key benefits of urolithin A is its ability to enhance autophagy, a natural process that helps the body cleanse and renew cells by degrading and recycling cellular components. Urolithin A specifically boosts mitophagy, the selective recycling of dysfunctional mitochondria, which plays a critical role in maintaining healthy cellular function. Mitochondria are the energy powerhouses of the cell, and maintaining their health is essential for overall vitality, energy production, and aging well. Research has shown that urolithin A can promote mitochondrial function to the same extent as a 10-week aerobic exercise regimen, making it an excellent supplement for supporting energy and vitality, particularly as we age.
Beyond its effects on mitochondria, urolithin A also promotes healthy metabolic function. Studies have demonstrated that it supports glucose and fat metabolism, particularly in individuals consuming high-fat diets. Supplementation with urolithin A has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity, support healthy lipid metabolism, and decrease the size of fat cells. These results stem from increased expression of genes involved in fatty acid oxidation and lipolysis, making urolithin A a powerful ally for those looking to improve their metabolic health.
Additionally, urolithin A has promising potential for enhancing other aspects of health, such as neuronal health, gut function, and joint health. Preliminary research suggests it may support cognitive function, neurogenesis, and healthy collagen production in joints. This broad-spectrum support makes urolithin A an invaluable addition to any wellness routine, offering a natural solution for promoting cellular health, energy, and overall longevity.
