Product Description

Product Description

What is Ergothioneine?

Ergothioneine (EGT) is a rare natural chiral amino acid with powerful functions in scavenging free radicals, whitening, anti-aging, and detoxification. It was first isolated from ergot in 1909, hence its name. Ergothioneine is synthesized in most fungi, some mushrooms, streptococci, and mycobacteria, and is absorbed and accumulated by plants and animals. In the human body, ergothioneine enters the nucleus and mitochondria through the exclusive OCTN1 transporter protein, where it scavenges free radicals, repairs cells, maintains DNA stability, activates cellular vitality, and inhibits apoptosis.

2. Anti-Aging: Ergothioneine inhibits MMP-1 gene expression, protects elastin, suppresses β-galactosidase, and delays cellular aging.
3. Anti-Inflammatory: Ergothioneine inhibits the production of UVB-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6), providing anti-inflammatory effects.
4. Whitening: Ergothioneine inhibits melanin production, offering skin-whitening benefits.
5. Repair: Ergothioneine repairs damaged cells and promotes cell regeneration, providing restorative effects.
6. Synergistic Effects: Ergothioneine works synergistically with other antioxidants (e.g., vitamin C) to enhance their efficacy.
