Urolithin A (UA) is a bioactive molecule produced by the gut microbiome from natural plant compounds found in foods such as pomegranates, walnuts, berries, and some other nuts.

After these foods are consumed, specific gut bacteria can convert ellagitannins and ellagic acid into Urolithin A. Not everyone produces this molecule efficiently, as the conversion process depends on individual gut microbiome composition and may change with age.

Current research continues to explore how Urolithin A supports normal cellular processes, including mitochondrial function and cellular renewal pathways. For this reason, it has gained interest within integrative and longevity-focused care as part of a broader, preventative approach to health.

is knee pain slowing you down?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative treatment option that may help support knee joint health and function.

PRP uses a concentrated portion of your own blood, rich in platelets and growth factors, which is administered into the knee under medical guidance. These platelets factors are thought to help modulate inflammation and support the body’s natural repair processes.

PRP is commonly considered for:
• Early to moderate knee osteoarthritis
• Certain meniscal injuries
• Chronic tendon or ligament conditions around the knee

Potential benefits may include:
• Reduced pain and stiffness
• Improved mobility and function
• A minimally invasive, non-surgical approach
• Use of your body’s own biological material
PRP is not suitable for everyone and outcomes vary between individuals. A thorough medical assessment is essential to determine whether this treatment is appropriate for you.

If you’re exploring regenerative options as part of a longevity-focused approach to joint health, speak with our medical team to learn more.

✅ To do list: Invest in your health and BOOK in for a Vitamin and Mineral IV Infusion.

🍎 Support your general health, hydration, energy production and immune system function with a vitamin and mineral infusion.

What Are Vitamin and Mineral Infusions? Vitamin and Mineral Infusions, also known as IV Therapy, are a modern therapy to deliver essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants directly into the bloodstream through an IV (intravenous) drip. This bypasses the digestive system, allowing for increased absorption of key vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support your overall health, immune system function, and energy production.

At Brickworks Medical Clinic on the Gold Coast, all Vitamin and Mineral Infusions are medical-grade, approved by the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and are administered by trained healthcare professionals.

📞 To BOOK call us in clinic.

🧬 What exactly is Rejuran®?

Rejuran® is a skin repair treatment made with polynucleotides (PN), a robust ingredient derived from salmon DNA that is highly compatible with human skin.

Rather than simply adding volume, Rejuran works by repairing and regenerating the skin from within. It stimulates collagen production, improves skin elasticity, and strengthens the skin barrier.

Benefits of Rejuran may include:
✔️ Improved skin texture and tone
✔️ Increased collagen and elasticity
✔️ Assistance in repairing damaged or aging skin
✔️ Smooths fine lines
