General description

Urolithins are microflora human metabolites of dietary ellagic acid (EA) derivatives, such as ellagitannins (ETs). They are produced in the human gut, and found in urine in the form of urolithin B glucuronide after absorption of ellagitannins-containing food such as pomegranate, strawberries, red raspberries, walnuts or oak-aged red wine. During intestinal metabolism by bacteria, ellagitannins and punicalagins are converted to urolithins.

Black raspberry (BRB) phytochemicals demonstrate anti-carcinogenic properties in experimental models, including prostate cancer. Two BRB foods, a confection and nectar, providing a consistent and reproducible product for human clinical studies are designed and characterized. Men with clinically localized prostate cancer

Urolithins are dibenzo[b,d]pyran-6-one derivatives that are produced by the human gut microbiota from ellagitannins and ellagic acid (EA). These metabolites are much better absorbed than their precursors and have been suggested to be responsible for the health effects attributed to
