Urolithin A (UltraUro®)
Urolithin A is a powerful postbiotic compound produced by gut bacteria from ellagitannins, found in foods like pomegranates, berries, and nuts. It is recognized for its ability to enhance mitochondrial function, promote muscle endurance, support cognitive health, and slow aging-related decline. Its unique mitophagy-inducing properties set it apart as a breakthrough in longevity research.
Health Benefits of Urolithin A
- Enhances Mitochondrial Health and Energy Production
Urolithin A stimulates mitophagy, a process that removes damaged mitochondria and promotes energy efficiency at the cellular level. This leads to better energy metabolism, reduced oxidative stress, and improved endurance. - Supports Muscle Strength and Physical Performance
By improving mitochondrial function, Urolithin A helps reduce muscle fatigue, enhance endurance, and maintain muscle mass—especially beneficial for aging individuals and athletes. - Promotes Cognitive Function and Neuroprotection
Urolithin A has shown potential in protecting brain cells from oxidative stress and inflammation, supporting memory, learning, and overall cognitive function while reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. - Supports Longevity and Healthy Aging
By promoting cellular renewal and reducing inflammation, Urolithin A helps slow aging-related decline in multiple organs, including muscles, the brain, and the cardiovascular system. - Improves Gut and Immune Health
As a postbiotic, Urolithin A helps maintain a balanced gut microbiome, reducing chronic inflammation and supporting immune system resilience.
