Liposomal Urolithin A

Urolithin A is a naturally occurring compound produced in the human gut when specific gut bacteria metabolize ellagitannins, a type of polyphenol found in foods like:

• Pomegranates

• Walnuts

• Berries (especially raspberries and strawberries)

• Some types of oak-aged wines

What Does Urolithin A Do?

Urolithin A has gained significant attention for its mitochondrial and cellular health benefits, especially in aging and energy-related processes.

Key Benefits:

1. Mitochondrial Biogenesis & Mitophagy

   • Stimulates the process of mitophagy — the selective removal of damaged mitochondria.

   • Helps renew and optimize energy production in cells.

2. Anti-Aging & Longevity

   • By improving mitochondrial function, it may slow age-related muscle decline (sarcopenia).

   • Preclinical studies suggest potential for improving cognitive and physical endurance.

3. Anti-inflammatory & Antioxidant Effects

   • Reduces inflammation in metabolic tissues.

   • Protects cells from oxidative stress.

4. Muscle Function

   • Clinical studies (e.g., Mitopure® research) show improved muscle endurance and strength in older adults.

5. Gut Microbiome Interaction

   • Only certain people produce Urolithin A efficiently, depending on their gut microbiota composition.

Supplementation

Due to variations in gut flora, not everyone naturally produces enough Urolithin A from diet. Therefore, supplementation (e.g., Mitopure®) is increasingly popular.

Typical Dose:

• 500–1000 mg/day (studied range)

• Often taken in capsule or powder form

Safety:

• Generally well-tolerated in human trials

• No significant side effects at studied doses
