Urolithin A is a metabolite of ellagic acid. It has been demonstrated to stimulate mitophagy
and improve muscle health in old animals and in preclinical models of aging.

Urolithin A(UA) is a major metabolite of ellagitannin and exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Urolithin A also has the ability to induce autophagy and apoptosis, inhibit cell cycle progression, and inhibit DNA synthesis.
At the physiological level, UA improved muscle function in nematodes, young rodents, old mice,
and muscle-wasting disorders such as Duchenne muscle dystrophy (DMD).
Long-term intake of UA improves muscle endurance.
In vitro studies, it has also been shown to inhibit the growth of human cancer cells in the colon, prostate and breast.
