L-Ergothioneine
Research & Manufacturing.
A unique bioactive compound with extraordinary potential for health and longevity applications.
Overview
The Longevity Molecule
L-Ergothioneine (EGT) is a naturally occurring amino acid that acts as a powerful cytoprotective antioxidant. Unlike common antioxidants, EGT accumulates in cells via a specific transporter (OCTN1), indicating its unique physiological importance.
Found in mushrooms and certain bacteria, EGT has demonstrated remarkable stability and cellular longevity, earning recognition as a potential "longevity vitamin" by leading researchers.
Powerful Antioxidant
Exceptional radical scavenging capacity with prolonged cellular retention.
Neuroprotection
Crosses blood-brain barrier; supports cognitive health.
Cellular Protection
Protects mitochondria, DNA, and proteins from oxidative damage.
