Episode notes
Urolithin A: A Postbiotic
- Urolithin A is a metabolite produced when your gut microbiome digests polyphenols found in foods like pomegranates and walnuts.
- It's considered a postbiotic, meaning it's a beneficial substance produced by gut bacteria after consuming certain foods.
Urolithin A Production Variability
- Conversion of polyphenols to urolithin A depends on individual gut microbiome composition.
- Only 10-12% of Americans produce optimal urolithin A levels, highlighting the variability in gut microbiomes.
Supplementing Urolithin A
- Prioritize diet and exercise as foundational health pillars.
- Supplement with urolithin A if natural production is insufficient, similar to supplementing vitamin C despite consuming oranges.
