Urolithin A (UA) is a compound formed in our gut when consuming certain food types. UA is a metabolite derived from ellagitannins, a polyphenol found in various fruits and nuts.
Our bodies use Urolithin A for a critical biological process called mitophagy, which rejuvenates our cells by recycling older, less efficient mitochondria into newer, healthier ones needed for maintaining muscle health and overall longevity.
This is important because as we age, our body's ability to maintain efficient cellular function diminishes. Urolithin A helps ensure our cells have healthy mitochondria for energy production and overall cellular health.
