Description
Urolithin A is a gut microbial metabolite, and Pure Rawz sells it as a powder. It’s tested to 99% purity or higher and sold strictly for lab research.
What is Urolithin A?
Urolithin A is made by gut bacteria from ellagitannins in pomegranates, walnuts and berries. Not everyone’s gut bacteria make it.
It triggers mitophagy, the removal of damaged mitochondria.
How it acts in research models
Urolithin A triggers mitophagy, the clearing out of damaged mitochondria, through the PINK1/Parkin pathway. Cells then rebuild healthier mitochondria.
That’s linked to better muscle function in older animals and in small human trials.
Urolithin A research
Ryu and colleagues reported in Nature Medicine (2016) that it extended lifespan in worms and improved muscle function in mice.
Andreux and colleagues reported a human trial in Nature Metabolism (2019).

Urolithin A sizes and forms
This listing is 30g of powder for $88.75.
Powder suits labs that want to make their own solutions or capsules. Weigh it on a milligram scale.
Using Urolithin A in the lab
Labs working with supplements often run them in cell culture or animal diets, keeping the base diet identical between groups so the only difference is the added nutrient.
Record the form used, such as glycinate versus oxide for magnesium, because absorption differs between forms.
Typical endpoints are blood levels of the nutrient, the related enzyme activity, and the outcome you care about, such as sleep scores, muscle strength or oxidative stress markers.

Quality and testing
We test each batch for identity and purity before it ships, using HPLC and mass spectrometry, with independent third-party checks on top of our own.
The batch number on the label matches the certificate of analysis. If your lab keeps paperwork on file, ask us for it and we’ll email it over.
How to store Urolithin A
Store capsules, tablets and powder in a cool, dry place out of direct light, with the lid closed tight. Note the batch number and the date you opened it in your lab records.
Safe handling
Treat it as a lab chemical. Gloves and safety glasses are the minimum, and a clean, uncluttered workspace cuts down on mix-ups.
Store prepared solutions apart from untouched stock, and record who mixed what and when.
Supplies to have on hand
- a milligram scale, since powder has to be weighed
- a suitable solvent if you’re making your own solution, such as DMSO or propylene glycol
