Description
L-Ergothioneine (EGT) is a naturally occurring amino acid, primarily found in mushrooms and certain other fungi, with potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It's gaining attention as a potential "longevity vitamin" due to its ability to protect cells from oxidative stress and its presence in high concentrations in human tissues.
EGT has also been widely studied and applied in health products, food and cosmetics. It has the functions of anti-aging, prolonging life, oral beauty, improving brain cognition, eye protection, improving reproductive system health, protecting the liver, repairing injuries after exercise, increasing mitochondrial ATP, pet nutrition, maintenance, etc.

Appearance & Color: White crystals or crystalline powder
Key aspects of L-Ergothioneine:
Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory:
EGT acts as an antioxidant, neutralizing harmful free radicals and reducing inflammation, potentially mitigating the effects of aging and chronic diseases.
Mitochondrial Protection:
Research indicates that EGT is concentrated in mitochondria, suggesting a role in protecting these cellular powerhouses from damage.
Dietary Source:
Mushrooms, especially oyster and bolete mushrooms, are the most significant dietary sources of EGT. Other sources include black and kidney beans, and animal products from animals that consume grasses containing EGT.
Potential Benefits:
Studies suggest EGT may have neuroprotective, cardioprotective, and anti-senescence effects.
Supplementation:
While EGT is found in food, supplementation is also an option. Supplements are available in various forms, including capsules and mushroom extracts.
