Urolithin A is an urolithin, a type of microflora human metabolite of dietary ellagic acid derivatives,[1][2] such as ellagitannins.[3]
During intestinal metabolism by bacteria, ellagitannins and punicalagins are converted to urolithins, which have unknown biological activity in vivo.[4][5]
Urolithin A glucuronide is found in plasma at low concentrations.[6]
