Abstract
This disclosure provides a composition and a method for enhancing urolithin B production. As a result of this, due to known impact of urolithin B, this can enhance reverse cholesterol transport and HDL function and management of plasma lipid profile through enhanced production of urolithin B from pomegranate polyphenols by administering a composition comprising a synergistic mixture of pomegranate polyphenols, lycopene and quercetin. The improved HDL function and lipid profile of such composition may be attributed to the enhanced urolithin B production made possible by the combination. Increasing the levels of urolithin B through modulation of the intestinal microbiome metabolism of pomegranate polyphenols is a potential therapeutic target for managing these diseases.
