Urolithin A
Urolithin A is a metabolite produced by the gut microbiota during the digestion of ellagitannins, which are polyphenolic compounds found in certain fruits and nuts. Ellagitannins are particularly abundant in foods such as pomegranates, strawberries, raspberries, walnuts, and certain other fruits. When these foods are consumed, the ellagitannins are broken down in the gut by bacteria into urolithin A.
