Ergothioneine, or EGT for short, has been found to have excellent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and organ-protective properties.
In 2024, Professor Yukio Kato, School of Pharmacy, Kanazawa University, Japan, published an article titled "Ergothioneine promotes longevity and healthy aging in male mic" in GeroScience magazine. The paper stated that supplementing ergothioneine can extend the lifespan of mice. The paper points out that the median and average survival ages of mice fed 4-5 mg/kg of ergothioneine per day increased by 16% and 21% respectively.
The conclusion of the paper is that taking ergothioneine can inhibit the aging of multiple organs such as the kidneys, liver, and brain, and has a positive effect on age-related decline in learning and memory abilities.
In addition, a 2020 article titled "Ergothioneine Can Reduce Mortality and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease" was published, and a series of papers also proved that ergothioneine works through cell mitochondrial-level super antioxidants.
Advantages of ergothioneine: high oral utilization efficiency. Moreover, ergothioneine is water-soluble and there is no significant difference in the effect when taken at any time of the day.
In addition to being used in health care products, major cosmetic brands also use it as one of their core ingredients. EGT has become one of the research hotspots in the skin care and health care products industries.
We are the main supplier of ergothioneine raw materials in the world. Our company has long-term cooperation with major foreign brands. We use infrared spectroscopy, high-resolution mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic methods and other methods to conduct qualitative analysis of the ingredients of each batch of products. The company provides high quality and high purity ergothioneine powder to the international market.
With the advancement of technology and in-depth research, we believe that ergothioneine powder will play a more important role in the field of health and beauty.
