Overview of Urolithin
Urolithin A is a metabolite produced by the human gut microbiota upon dietary intake of plant derived ellagitannins and ellagic acid. Urolithins 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, including edible plants, such as pomegranates, strawberries, raspberries, and walnuts.
