What is Urolithin A?

Urolithin A is a naturally occurring metabolite generated by human gut bacteria when you consume foods or supplements containing ellagitannins or ellagic acid.

rolithin A 99%, with CAS number 1143-70-0, is a beige-to-yellow powder for aging support and muscular strength.

Urolithin A Food Sources

According to Wikipedia, Urolithin A is not known to be found in any dietary food source at present. However, you are able to get endogenously Urolithin A by digesting ellagitannins and ellagic acid-rich foods, which are dietary polyphenols found in various fruits and berries, nuts, muscadine grapes, oak-aged wines and spirits, such as pomegranates, blackberries, camu-camu, strawberries, raspberries, walnuts, hazelnuts, acorns, chestnuts, and pecans, etc.

Urolithin A Manufacturing Process

Urolithin A is manufactured via chemical syntheses using one of the two processes described below. Both processes involve an Ullmann coupling reaction, followed by a Lewis acid treatment to yield a highly purified urolithin A product.

The final product is purified by standard means of treatment in solvents, filtered, washed, and dried to obtain pure urolithin A. The product is later subjected to a particle size reduction.

According to well-established processes, Urolithin A powder is synthetically manufactured and purified in several main steps to a highly pure specification of 99%. Raw Materials and processing steps involved in the synthesis of urolithin A include 2-Bromo-5-methoxy benzoic acid, 2-Bromo-5-hydroxy benzoic acid, Resorcinol, 50% sodium hydroxide, Copper sulfate pentahydrate, Methanol, Aluminum chloride, Toluene, DMSO, Methanol, Acetic Acid, and TBME (tert-butyl-methyl ether).

Micronized Urolithin A

The purity of urolithin A is 99% min tested by the HPLC Method. Except for regular Urolithin A specification, Micronized Urolithin A powder is also available and carefully designed upon our nutritional supplement brands’ request to provide a better bioavailability.

The specs of the particle size dimensions of micronized Urolithin A are NMT 30um and NMT 20um. And the actual batches are ranging from 3um to 13um. It can be highly customized as per your detailed request.

Urolithin A is stable at room temperature, and there is no need to store it in the refrigerator at low temperatures.
