Urolithin A is a metabolite compound resulting from the transformation of ellagitannins by the gut bacteria.It belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzo-coumarins or dibenzo-α-pyrones. Its precursors - ellagic acids and ellagitannins - are ubiquitous in nature.

Function

1.Urolithin A is not known to be found in any food source. Its bioavailability mostly depends on individual microbiota composition, as only some bacteria are able to convert ellagitannins into urolithins.

2.Urolithin A belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzo-coumarins or dibenzo-α-pyrones. These are polycyclic aromatic compounds containing a 1-benzopyran moiety with a ketone group at the C2 carbon atom (1-benzopyran-2-one).

Application

1. Healthy dietary supplement (capsule, powder, tablet) .

2. New drug developement .

3. Food Additive.
