“The randomized clinical trial involved 66 older adults (average age, 71 years) who had poor mitochondrial function. Half of the participants received 1,000 milligrams of urolithin A daily for four months; the other half received a placebo.”
“The pomegranate compound is transformed by gut microbes into a molecule called urolithin A which causes cells to clear away damaged mitochondria and recycle their defective components for energy.”
“Scientists have identified about 20 urolithins, but the most studied of these is urolithin A, which exerts potent anti-obesity effects. Duckweed is rich in polyphenols, carotenoids, omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and many micronutrients, including iron and vitamin B12.”

“01:54:00 - Pterostilbine increases gut microbes that convert ellagitannins to urolithin A, which induces mitophagy. Press release. 01:57:05 - Rhonda explains the process of mitophagy – the clearing away of damaged mitochondria.”
Consumption of plant-based foods has been shown to decrease colorectal cancer risk. For example, ellagic acid, a bioactive compound present in walnuts and pomegranates, breaks down in the gut to yield urolithins, a class of compounds that exert anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects.
Q&A
Dr. Rhonda Patrick answers audience questions on various health, nutrition, and science topics in this Q&A session.
“Mitochondria are best known for their energy-producing roles, but they also help regulate cellular metabolism, signaling, and apoptosis (programmed cell death). As a result, mitochondrial health is intrinsically linked to overall health.”
“As research progresses, my dietary and supplement habits adapt. At times, it's the ineffable quality of consciousness, submerged in a mental calculus of cost-benefits, that nudges a change of heart. Other times, it's the stark contradiction of new data that compels a shift.”
