>Before heading out to stock up on pomegranates, however, it's worth noting that the fruit doesn't itself contain the miracle molecule, but rather its precursor. That molecule is converted into urolithin A by the microbes that inhabit the intestine. Because of this, the amount of urolithin A produced can vary widely, depending on the species of animal and the flora present in the gut microbiome. Some individuals don't produce any at all. If you're one of the unlucky ones, it's possible that pomegranate juice won't do you any good.

Yeah? I know what pomegranates taste like I don't need to eat them again

But we have microbes in our gut.

>>39790281
Yeah but we don't know which specific bacteria makes the conversion needed for the effects to happen. It could even be converted by multiple bacteria, they should really find that out first. From there, people can just take the right probiotics and they'll get the desired effects when eating pomegranate

Precursors can still lead to results that the article is talking about. Like how stem cells are precursors to muscle, nerve, epithilial, etc. cells. Although possibilities are varied, you cant rule out the result of interest wont happen.

Now to interpret studies you find summarized in clickbait articles, a handy guide.

Step 1: Ctrl+F "mice"
Step 2: If it was done on mice, ignore it because it almost certainly has no relevance to humans

Pomegranates are delicious but get real.
