What it is
Urolithin A is a postbiotic compound derived from the gut microbial metabolism of ellagitannins found in foods like pomegranates and berries. It is formulated in capsules for adult consumption, targeting cellular health and longevity.

How it works
Urolithin A stimulates mitophagy, the selective removal of damaged mitochondria, thereby enhancing cellular energy production and function. It also supports telomere maintenance and has dose-dependent effects on cellular repair mechanisms, typically showing measurable benefits within 8-12 weeks.
Who should take it
Adults looking to address premature ageing, low energy, cellular stress. Particularly relevant for people who prefer a targeted single ingredient and who have ruled out an underlying condition that needs medical care first.
Avoid / careful
Pregnant or nursing women without clinician oversight. People on prescription medication affecting the same pathway should consult a doctor before combining. Side effects are uncommon at recommended doses but mild GI upset can occur when starting.

FAQs
Frequently asked
How long does it take to see effects from Urolithin A?
Longevity markers typically become measurable within 8-12 weeks of consistent daily dosing.
Can Urolithin A be taken with other supplements?
Yes, Urolithin A is designed to be layered into existing protocols. Consult a healthcare provider if you are on prescription medication.
What foods contain the precursors to Urolithin A?
Foods rich in ellagitannins, such as pomegranates, berries (raspberries, strawberries, blueberries), and walnuts, are precursors.

About Urolithin A
Urolithin A is a longevity & nad+ supplement used to support healthy ageing and cellular longevity. Postbiotic for mitophagy and muscle. It is available in capsule form and dosed for adults in India and internationally. As a western-tradition entry in the SacredBod catalog, it is positioned as a single-ingredient option that can be used on its own or layered into a broader protocol. Urolithin A works through the mechanisms characteristic of its class — see the mechanism and research sections for detail. It primarily acts on the mitochondria, cells, telomeres, and effects are dose-dependent, typically becoming measurable within 8-12 weeks for longevity markers. Consistency matters more than dose size for this category.
Evidence
Urolithin A carries an evidence grade of C in the SacredBod catalog, reflecting emerging human evidence for healthy ageing and cellular longevity. Postbiotic for mitophagy and muscle. Benefits are cumulative rather than immediate, typically becoming noticeable within 8-12 weeks for longevity markers, and individual response varies.
Dosing
A typical dose is 500 mg, taken with food, usually in the morning. Start at the lower end, assess tolerance, and stay consistent; more is not automatically better.
Cautions
Pregnant or nursing women without clinician oversight. People on prescription medication affecting the same pathway should consult a doctor before combining. Side effects are uncommon at recommended doses but mild GI upset can occur when starting.
Who it’s for
Adults looking to address premature ageing, low energy, cellular stress. Particularly relevant for people who prefer a targeted single ingredient and who have ruled out an underlying condition that needs medical care first.
As part of the Longevity & NAD+ category, Urolithin A can be used on its own or layered into a broader protocol — see the Goes with panel for evidence-aligned pairings.
