Ellagic acid needs to be metabolized by intestinal flora to urolithin active products, or directly regulates the composition and function of intestinal flora, and maintains blood glucose homeostasis by regulating insulin secretion, improving insulin sensitivity and activating multiple organ regulatory pathways.Animal experiments and clinical studies have confirmed that EA can reduce fasting blood glucose and improve insulin resistance.This article reviews the two-way interaction between EA and gut microbiota, the core pathway of gut microbiota regulating blood glucose, the specific regulatory mechanism of EA and related in vitro and in vivo studies, so as to provide a new perspective for the intervention of glucose metabolism diseases. In the future, it is necessary to focus on the transformation mechanism, dosage form optimization and large sample clinical research to promote its clinical transformation.
