Abstract

Abstract : Human urolithin gut microbiota metabotypes are mainly determined by aging. Abstract : Understanding individuals' response to dietary bioactives is crucial for personalized nutrition. We report here for the first time in a Caucasian cohort (5–90 years, n = 839) that aging is the main factor that determines the gut microbiota involved in the ellagic acid–ellagitannin metabolism (urolithin metabotypes), with potential consequences for human health.
