This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether urolithin A, a natural compound found in certain foods, can help improve your body's ability to control blood sugar levels. Researchers believe this supplement may help your pancreas release insulin more effectively and improve how your muscles take up glucose from your bloodstream. The study will follow you for 8 weeks to see if these changes actually happen.
As we age, our bodies sometimes become less efficient at managing blood sugar, which can lead to diabetes and other health problems. This medication may offer a natural way to help keep blood sugar under better control, but researchers need to study whether it actually works in people.

You will visit the research clinic 6 times over 8 weeks. At your first visit, you'll have screening tests including blood work and an MRI scan. Then you'll take either the supplement or a placebo (a pill with no active ingredient) every day for 8 weeks. At weeks 4 and 8, you'll return for blood tests and additional scans to measure how your body is responding. The researchers will also collect information about your gut bacteria and immune system.
