Biochem/physiol Actions

It decreases protein degradation and induces muscle hypertrophy. Urolithin B inhibits the activity of aromatase, an enzyme that interconverts estrogen and testosterone.
Urolithin B is a natural product with antiproliferative and antioxidant activity. Urolithin B is formed by metabolism from polyphenols found in some nuts and fruits, particularly pomegranates. Urolithin B has been shown to cross the blood brain barrier, and may have neuroprotective effects against Alzheimer′s Disease.
