Product Highlights

  • The “Longevity Vitamin”: Proposed by researchers as a vital micronutrient for healthy aging and mitochondrial maintenance.
  • Superior Antioxidant Stability: Unique thiol-thione structure makes it highly resistant to autoxidation compared to glutathione or Vitamin C.
  • Exclusive Cellular Transporter (OCTN1): Humans possess a specific transporter (SLC22A4) that actively pulls EGT into high-stress cells for immediate protection.
  • Broad Application Range: Exceptional heat and pH stability, making it ideal for both dietary supplements and advanced cosmetic formulations

Product Description

  • Ergothioneine is a rare, naturally occurring sulfur-containing amino acid that cannot be synthesized by the human body. Our EGT is produced through a precision fermentation process, ensuring a high-purity, bio-identical molecule that mimics the rare antioxidants found in specialty mushrooms like Shiitake and King Oyster. It acts as a powerful cytoprotectant, accumulating in tissues subject to high oxidative stress such as the liver, eyes, and brain.

Functions & Benefits

  • Cellular & DNA Protection: Scavenges reactive oxygen and nitrogen species to prevent cellular damage and inflammation.
  • Mitochondrial Support: Protects the “powerhouses” of the cell, supporting overall energy levels and longevity.
  • Cognitive & Neuro-Protection: Levels naturally decline with age; supplementation is linked to improved cognitive performance and brain health.
  • Anti-Aging Skincare: Clinically used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, protect against UV-induced damage, and brighten skin tone.
