Is the Urolithin A in Codeage Products Derived From a Natural Source or Synthetic?Updated an hour ago

What Urolithin A Is?

Urolithin A is a compound that has been studied for its role as a postbiotic metabolite. In nature, it is formed in the body when certain gut microbiota convert compounds found in foods such as pomegranates and some berries. However, not all individuals produce Urolithin A naturally, as this process depends on the presence and activity of specific gut bacteria.

Source of Urolithin A Used in Supplements

The Urolithin A used in Codeage products is synthetically produced.

This means it is created through a controlled manufacturing process rather than extracted directly from food or plant material. Synthetic production allows for:

  • A consistent and well-defined ingredient
  • Precise dosing, such as the 500 mg listed on the label
  • Reliable quality and reproducibility from batch to batch

The synthetic form is chemically identical to the Urolithin A that can be produced naturally in the body.

Why a Synthetic Form Is Used?

Using a synthetic form of Urolithin A helps ensure stability, purity, and consistency. Naturally deriving Urolithin A from food sources is not practical for supplementation, as it would be difficult to control concentration and yield. A synthetic version allows the ingredient to be produced in a standardized way that meets quality and regulatory requirements.

Label Transparency

When Urolithin A appears on a Supplement Facts panel, the listed amount refers to the pure compound, regardless of whether it is naturally occurring or synthetically produced. The label reflects what is present in the capsule, not the biological process by which the compound may occur in the body.

Summary

  • Urolithin A can occur naturally in the body through gut microbiota metabolism
  • The Urolithin A used in Codeage supplements is synthetically produced
  • The synthetic form is chemically identical to naturally occurring Urolithin A
  • This approach supports consistency, purity, and accurate dosing
