Urolithin A is a postbiotic compound, meaning that we rely on our gut microbiome to create it. It is synthesized from polyphenols called ellagitannins, commonly found in pomegranates, berries, and some nuts.
UA promotes health in a unique way – by triggering an essential cellular recycling process called mitophagy. By rejuvenating the energy generators inside the cells (the mitochondria), it provides a host of positive downstream effects.
Ellagitannins are bioactive compounds found in various food sources, including berries, nuts, and pomegranates. Some of the key food sources of ellagitannins include:
Blackberries (Rubus spp.): Contain ellagitannins such as sanguiin H6 and lambertianin D.
Strawberries (Fragaria ananassa): Contain ellagitannins such as casuarictin, pedunculagin, and sanguiin H6.
Cloudberries (Rubus chamaemorus): Contain ellagitannins such as sanguiin H6 and lambertianin C.
Raspberries (Rubus idaeus): Contain ellagitannins such as sanguiin H6, sanguiin H10, and lambertianin C.
Pomegranate (Punica granatum): Contain the unique ellagitannin, punicalagin.
Guava (Psidium friedrichsthalianum): Contain ellagitannins such as pedunculagin, castalin, and vescalin.
Jabuticaba (Myrciaria jaboticaba): Contain ellagitannins such as sanguiin H6-H10 and lambertianin C.
Muscadine grapes (Vitis rotundifolia): Contain ellagitannins such as sanguiin H5.
Purple Grumixama cherry (Eugenia brasiliensis): Contain ellagitannins such as pedunculagin, strictinin, castalagin, and vescalagin.
Chestnuts (Castanea sativa): Contain ellagitannins such as castalagin.
Pecans (Carya illinoinensis): Contain ellagitannins such as pedunculagin.
Walnuts (Juglans regia): Contain ellagitannins such as pedunculagin and casuarictin.
