Urolithin A has some purported anti-aging benefits, including removing old mitochondria and promoting the production of healthy new ones. See this study: "Urolithin A as a Potential Agent for Prevention of Age-Related Disease: A Scoping Review"

However, it's expensive, and some people don't like buying it because the Mitopure brand, which manufacturers it (then sells it to different companies) is a subsidiary of Nestlé, a brand I'm personally boycotting. 


I experimented last night with making my own UA "yogurt", starting with some organic half-and-half (1/2 whole fat milk, 1/2 light cream), a tablespoon of inulin and three or four capeules of Solaray Bacillus Coagulas, fermented overnight at about 102 degrees F. 


Researchers have found that if our gut is populated with the right strain of BC, and we then eat some pomegranate or another source of ellagic acid, our bodies will make their own UA.

Will the conversion of ellagic acid into UA work with the Solaray product? I'm not sure, actually, as there are several strains of BC, but I'm hoping it will. I can say that the yogurt is delicious, mild flavored, slightly sweet and slightly tart and very easy to make. 


Eating the yogurt should, in any case, help populate my gut with a probiotic which has been found to have many support mitochondrial health.
