What is Urolithin A and why it shows promise.

A quick introduction at a very interesting supplement.

Urolithin A is a metabolite that is produced when ellagitannins from certain foods are broken down by gut bacteria. Food sources include pomegranates, nuts, berries, and oak-aged foods.

It's considered a type of ellagic acid derivative and is associated with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in the body.

Research indicates urolithin A can help mitigate systemic inflammation, improve mitochondrial and muscle function, and enhance protein synthesis and muscle growth.

It may also help decrease risk factors for chronic diseases like heart disease, neurodegeneration, and cancer.

Urolithin A improves muscle cell differentiation and regeneration. This can enhance fitness outcomes related to muscle gain, endurance, and recovery from exercise.

Not everyone produces urolithin A from ellagitannin foods due to differences in gut microbiome. So direct supplemental forms have been developed.

Typical dosing of urolithin A supplements ranges from 250mg to 1000mg per day. It's considered safe at these doses based on current research.

While very promising, more clinical trials are currently being run to confirm effects and optimal dosing. But urolithin A remains an emerging supplement for anti-aging, fitness, and overall health.
