Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.

Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.

UA is an ellagitannin produced by gut microbial conversion from ellagic acid derivatives. Not all people can convert it.
Urolithin A is a byproduct formed from gut bacteria after metabolizing polyphenols found in pomegranates, berries, and nuts.
One's "metabotype" determines whether or not they convert ellagitannins/ellagic acid into urolithin A (some don't).
