SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Pomegranate punicalagin's conversion to urolithin a by skin microbiome represents a remarkable prebiotic-probiotic relationship: the skin's resident bacteria metabolize the polyphenol precursor to create the bioactive urolithin that activates mitophagy (cellular mitochondrial quality control). this microbiome-dependent bioactivation means the same punicalagin extract has different anti-aging potency across individuals depending on their microbiome composition.
