Deep dives

The Benefits of Urolithin A

Urolithin A is a postbiotic that plays a significant role in enhancing mitochondrial health. Produced by the gut microbiome after the consumption of polyphenol-rich foods like pomegranates and nuts, it has been found to facilitate a process known as mitophagy, which clears damaged mitochondria from cells. This leads to improved muscle strength and recovery, increased collagen production in the skin, and overall better cellular energy levels. Clinical trials have shown promising results, making Urolithin A an exciting candidate for health enhancement, particularly in aging populations.
