Can Urolithin A Help in Curing COVID-19 Infection?
Urolithin A (UA) is a natural gut microbiome-derived food metabolite that is synthesized after eating certain foods high in polyphenols. UA offers significant health benefits for our body, especially its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory roles, which lead us to wonder if UA can participate directly or indirectly in curing or, at the very least ...

TRANSLATING UROLITHIN A BENEFITS ON MUSCLE MITOCHONDRIA TO HUMANS [PDF]
Urolithin A (UA) is a natural metabolite produced by the gut microflora upon ingestion of ellagitanins, a class of molecules that is abundant in pomegranates, nuts and berries. We have published a study demonstrating that UA induces mitophagy in vivo following oral consumption in worms and in rodents (Ryu et al., Nat Med 2016).
