Ergothioneine

Coming Soon

L-Ergothioneine is a naturally occurring amino acid and antioxidant naturally found in specialty mushrooms like king oyster, maitake, and shiitake.

Because the human body does not synthesize ergothioneine on its own, it must be obtained through diet or supplementation. It features a unique, dedicated transporter protein (OCTN1) in human cells, allowing it to be effectively absorbed and directed to areas of high cellular activity and oxidative stress, including the mitochondria.

Targeted Cellular Protection: Unique amino acid derivative absorbed via a specialized transporter (OCTN1).

Mitochondrial Support: Accumulates within cells to help guard against daily oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species.

Superior Stability: Highly resilient antioxidant structure that resists heat- and pH-induced breakdown.

Long-Lasting: Possesses an extended cellular half-life, helping maintain cellular levels over time.
