Description

Urolithin A CAS NO 1143-70-0 is a potent postbiotic metabolite produced by the gut microbiota from ellagitannins and ellagic acid found in foods like pomegranates and nuts. This compound matters for its significant role in cellular health, primarily through the activation of mitophagy and mitochondrial biogenesis, which are crucial for maintaining cellular energy and function. It is needed by manufacturers in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries for developing advanced formulations targeting anti-aging, muscle health, and metabolic support.

Application

• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: A key active ingredient in formulations designed to support healthy aging, improve muscle endurance and recovery, and enhance cellular energy metabolism.
• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: Used as a reference standard and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in preclinical and clinical studies investigating treatments for age-related diseases, metabolic disorders, and neurodegenerative conditions.
• Cosmeceuticals & Skincare: Incorporated into anti-aging creams, serums, and lotions for its potential to improve skin health by promoting cellular renewal and protecting against oxidative stress.
• Functional Food & Beverage Fortification: Added to health-focused foods and drinks to provide the benefits of enhanced mitochondrial function and cellular cleanup.
• Sports Nutrition: Utilized in products aimed at athletes and active individuals to support muscle function, reduce exercise-induced fatigue, and accelerate recovery.
• Veterinary Health Products: Applied in advanced supplements for companion and performance animals to promote vitality and overall wellness.
