Urolithin A is the most abundant type of urolithin produced by the human microbiota. This nutritional compound is derived from ellagitannins and ellagic acid commonly found in berries, nuts, and pomegranate. Urolithin A (UA) has a powerful influence on mitochondrial function, as it...

The metabolic effect of gut-derived metabolites coincides with the prevention of conditions like obesity and diabetes in mouse models. However, to produce the beneficial gut-derived metabolites, we need to ingest foods that contain specific bioactive compounds and have beneficial...
It is not news that mitochondria are not the ONLY powerhouses of our body. Indeed, our gut microbiome can metabolize foods that were thought to be undigestible and therefore didn’t provide energy to our body. Furthermore, this overlapping metabolic function between mitochondria and...
Fifty-four million adults currently suffer from Arthritis. In addition to that, about 9% of adults have some type of limitation attributed to Arthritis. The CDC predicts the number of those diagnosed with Arthritis will only continue to rise in the years coming. With autoimmune disease...
Gut microbiota has a wide variety of metabolic activities. I would like to rephrase that, more than activities, they are responsibilities. Nowadays, we know that the gut microbiota metabolizes what we used to believe to be “undigestible,” creating microflora-derived...
