Abstract: Urolithin A (UA) is a natural gut microbiome-derived food metabolite that is synthesized after eating certain foods high in polyphenols. UA offers high health benefits for our body, especially its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory roles, which lead us to wonder if UA can participate directly or indirectly in curing or, at the very least, lessening the symptoms of COVID-19. To date, there has been no study investigating UA's role in curing COVID-19 or any viral infection.
