Pomegranates contain ellagitannins that may act as prebiotics. Gut bacteria metabolize ellagitannins to produce another molecule: urolith A. Most cellular energy comes from mitochondria inside cells. A recycling process removes older, dysfunctional mitochondria to make room for new structures. This process can slow down with age, but urolith A may restart or enhance the cellular recycling process and boost energy levels.
