Urolithin A is the main metabolite of ellagitannin-rich foods, such as pomegranates, black raspberries, raspberries strawberries, walnuts, and almonds.
Research indicates that urolithin A enhances autophagy, the natural process of cellular renewal in which the body degrades and recycles cellular components, as well as mitophagy, the clearance, and recycling of older and dysfunctional mitochondria.
Mitochondria are the “powerhouses of the cell,” and their function is fundamental to healthy aging.[2]
Efficient rejuvenation of mitochondria supports energy production and the overall health of cells.
