What is ergothioneine?
Ergothioneine (EGT) has a molecular formula of C9H15N3O2S and is a naturally occurring amino acid substance. Its pure product is a white crystal, water-soluble, soluble in 0.9 mol/L at room temperature, and will not self-oxidize at physiological pH and in strong alkaline solutions. Ergothioneine exists in two isomers, thiol and thione.
Ergothioneine is a naturally occurring antioxidant amino acid substance with strong antioxidant capacity and multiple physiological effects. It can protect cell health and promote normal cell growth and immunity by scavenging free radicals, detoxifying, and maintaining DNA biosynthesis. Since the human body cannot synthesize ergothioneine on its own, it needs to be supplemented through food or skin care products.

What are the effects of ergothioneine?
Ergothioneine acts as a natural antioxidant:
1. Antioxidants : ergothione has powerful antioxidant properties, 14 to 30 times stronger than many common antioxidants, due to its ability to scavenge free radicals.
2. Cell protection : In human body, ergothioneine can play a protective role in cells, maintain DNA biosynthesis, promote normal cell growth and cellular immunity.
3 detoxification : ergothione also has the function of detoxification, which helps rid the body of harmful substances.
Antioxidant properties of ergothioneine
Ergothione can easily cross the cell barrier to reach the mitochondria, which is a major oxidizer, and destroy damaging reactive oxygen species, thus slowing down cell damage and body aging. This antioxidant property makes ergothionein potentially useful in the field of anti-aging.
Ergothioneine has a wide range of biological functions, including:
Maintains cell health : Protects cells from damage through antioxidant and detoxification effects.
promotes DNA synthesis : helps maintain DNA stability and biosynthesis processes.
Enhance immunity : Improve the overall immunity of the body by promoting cellular immunity.
