Urolithin A supplement tested on cellular longevity

Urolithin A is a dietary supplement containing urolithin A, a metabolite studied in the fields of cellular health and anti-aging.

This particularly innovative ingredient is attracting scientific interest because of its potential effects on mitochondrial and cellular function, and thus its ability to maintain young-looking skin and support overall longevity, etc. (1)

The supplement Urolithin A is part of our longevity product category.

Definition and benefits of urolithin A, a new ‘anti-aging’ ingredient

What exactly is urolithin A?

Urolithin A is a metabolite produced naturally by the body from the conversion by gut bacteria of dietary ellagitannins and ellagic acid (it is often described as a postbiotic).

Ellagitannins and ellagic acid are found at low levels in fruits such as pomegranates, blackberries, nuts...

Promising health benefits of urolithin A

Urolithin A has been the subject of numerous studies investigating its potential to support:

• cellular health and longevity, by increasing mitophagy (namely the recycling of dysfunctional and/or senescent mitochondria), maintaining mitochondrial function and reducing harmful inflammation (2);
• the health and appearance of the skin, by increasing expression of type 1 collagen and exerting antioxidant effects (3);
• joint health, by reducing cartilage degeneration and synovial inflammation (4);
• brain health, by promoting blood-brain barrier permeability (5);
• muscle health, by supporting strength and recovery (6);
• and health and longevity in general (7-8).

As a reminder, mitochondria are responsible for producing ATP, the primary source of cellular energy which the body needs to function properly and survive.

Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a key role in the aging process and subsequent development of age-related health problems (metabolic, degenerative...)

What are the benefits offered by urolithin A supplementation?

Taking a pure urolithin A supplement enables you to:

• easily and effectively increase the amount of urolithin A in your body;
• and to do so by side-stepping the stage of converting ellagitannins and ellagic acid into urolithin A in the gut. Indeed, this stage is not possible for everyone, as it is directly related to the individual health and composition of the gut microbiome. Moreover, the body’s natural ability to produce urolithin A from its precursors declines with age. This conversion process is therefore variable and is only possible in around 40% of older populations.

Six strengths of our urolithin A product

Our urolithin A supplement stands out from other ‘anti-aging’ and similar products in 6 key facets:

1. its exclusive and innovative aspect: urolithin A is growing in popularity in the United States ;
2. its unique performance: the results produced by urolithin A studies are some of the most promising in current anti-aging research (9);
3. its high but safe dose: our product provides at least 500mg urolithin A a day, a dose studies have shown to be effective and safe;
4. its natural source: it contains only urolithin A obtained from pomegranate extract;
5. its proven high quality: the metabolite obtained is rigorously tested to ensure optimal purity;
6. its natural excipients: only acacia gum and white rice flour are used in our product, 100 % natural excipients which contribute to the supplement’s consistency and stability.
