Brief summary
This is a single-center, two-period, crossover, randomized, open labelled study enrolling 100 healthy subjects to evaluate the Urolithin A producer status and to compare bioavailabilty of direct dietary supplementation with Mitopure™ (proprietary Urolithin A) to dietary exposure with pomegranate juice

| To assess prevalence of UA producers following consumption of fixed volume of Pomegranate juice in a healthy US population | 2 days | — |
| Absolute change from T0 to T+24 hours in the UA group as compared to PJ group in UA- glucuronide blood spot levels | 2 days | — |
| Differences between UA producers and non-producers at baseline for gait speed using the 4-meter gait speed test | 2 days | — |
| Differences between UA producers and non-producers at baseline for physical activity levels assessed via the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. | 2 days | Questionnaire consists of questions that provide information on the physical activity in the last 7 days. Activities include total of duration and frequency from walking, moderate activity and severe physical activity. Accordingly,there are 3 activity levels: Inactive,minimal active and very active.The lowest level of physical activity is inactive and the highest level of physical activity is very active. |
| Differences between UA producers and non-producers at baseline for energy levels assessed via the Lee-Visual Analogue Scale to assess Fatigue (VAS-F). | 2 days | The scale consists of 18 items relating to the subjective experience of fatigue. Scores fall between 0 (not fatigued at all) and 100 (extremely fatigued). |
| Differences between UA producers and non-producers at baseline for gut microbiome. Fecal samples will be used to extract DNA and shotgun sequencing will be performed to assess global microbiome differences at the species level. | 2 days | — |
| Differences between UA producers and non-producers at baseline for plasma metabolome. Metabolites in serum will be measured by metabolomic mass spectrometry | 2 days | — |
| Differences between UA producers and non-producers at baseline for blood biochemistry metabolic profile as assessed via lipid profile in plasma. | 2 days | — |
| Differences in consumer perception on the study investigation food products overall taste using a consumer perception Likert scale | 1 day | Scale, of 1 to 5 where 1 is dislike extremely and 5 is like extremely |
| Differences between UA producers and non-producers at baseline for Hand grip strength using a calibrated JAMAR® Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer | 2 days | — |
