Abstract in brief

Urolithins A, derived from gut microbes, are being studied as a potential way to combat brain aging due to their ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and their selective distribution in the brain.
These metabolites, which result from the transformation of ellagitannins and ellagic acid in the gut, show promise in preventing age-related cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases, based on recent preclinical and clinical research.
Despite encouraging evidence, their full potential in diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of brain disorders is still uncertain, and further research is needed to understand their applications as functional foods, drugs, or biomarkers.]
