Description
L-Ergothioneine (EGT) is a compound discovered in 1909. The pure product is white crystal, water-soluble, and will not oxidize itself at physiological pH and in strong alkaline solutions.
L-Ergothioneine is a natural antioxidant that can protect cells in the human body and is an important active substance in the body. Natural antioxidants are safe and non-toxic and have become a hot research topic.
Function
1) Eye protection
Ergothioneine exists in high concentrations in eye tissues, including the lens, retina, cornea and retinal pigment epithelium. It can reduce intracellular ROS production and inhibit oxidation-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition by scavenging chronic reactive oxygen species (ROS) ( EMT) to help protect your eyes.
2) Muscle repair
Ergothioneine can help better manage muscle damage and recovery from exercise. Supplementing with ergothioneine for 1 week slightly improves early protein synthesis without impairing mitochondrial recovery.
3) Protect brain health & improve cognitive function
Ergothioneine regulates neuronal differentiation, neurogenesis, and microglial activation, and may prevent neurotoxicity caused by pathogenic proteins or chemicals.
4) Prevent UV damage
Ergothioneine protects skin cells from UV rays.
5) Cardiovascular health
Ergothioneine may affect cardiovascular health.
