L-Ergothioneine Powder EGT is a natural strong antioxidant that can prevent or limit free radicals from damaging the body, protect DNA and proteins from oxidative damage, and maintain cell health. It has the functions of anti-inflammation, preventing cardiovascular disease, slowing down skin aging, preventing ultraviolet damage, and delaying aging.

Ergothioneine EGT

Ergothioneine is a rare natural chiral amino acid and a unique cell physiological protective agent. It has multiple physiological functions such as free radical scavenging, whitening, anti-aging, and maintaining DNA synthesis and normal cell growth.

What's Main Function of L-Ergothioneine?

◆Ergothioneine EGT has stronger antioxidant capacity than coenzyme Q10

Ergothioneine EGT has stronger antioxidant capacity than coenzyme Q10

◆Under UV irradiation, ergothioneine is more effective than ideben in protecting cells from damage

Under UV irradiation ergothioneine is more effective than ideben in protecting cells from damage

◆Activate the endogenous antioxidant system and combine antioxidants

Activate the endogenous antioxidant system and combine antioxidants

L-Ergothioneine Powder can also activate antioxidant enzymes that can scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, etc., thereby effectively exerting antioxidant effects and improving skin keratinocytes. endogenous antioxidant levels.

◆Scavenge mitochondrial free radicals ROS and increase mitochondrial energy ATP

Third-party independent professional laboratory research shows that when the concentration of ergothioneine is 1000PPM, the scavenging rate of free radical ROS in cell mitochondria can reach +71.95% within 24 hours; the ATP content (mitochondria energy) in mitochondria will increase significantly. , the improvement rate is +24.86%.

◆Inhibit tyrosinase, whiten and brighten skin

The human epidermis contains a variety of amino acids, among which tyrosine can be converted into melanin under the action of tyrosinase, darkening the skin and even producing age spots, freckles, etc.

Third-party independent professional laboratory data shows that 0.1% (1000PPM) ergothioneine tyrosinase inhibition rate can reach 87.62%, thus achieving the effects of removing yellowing, brightening and whitening.

Ø In 1909, the natural antioxidant ergothioneine was first isolated from ergot fungi by French pharmacist Charles Tanret. Ergothioneine was also found in mushrooms such as Ganoderma lucidum and matsutake. The ergothioneine content in Ganoderma lucidum is 80mg/kg, the yield per mu of Ganoderma lucidum is 500kg, and it contains 40g of EGT;

Ø In 1998, ergothioneine was introduced to the cosmetics market by Estee Lauder;

Ø In 2017, the European Union approved L-ergothioneine as a new food ingredient and can be used in dietary supplements;

Ø From 2021 to 2022, the number of international brands with registered products containing ergothioneine will grow rapidly, including: Estee Lauder, Clinique, Elizabeth Arden, Decor, etc.
