Ergothioneine CAS No.:497-30-3 Anti-aging

1. 1、Product introduction

  Ergothioneine (EGT) is a naturally occurring sulfur-containing imidazolium compound. Its unique chemical structure grants it potent antioxidant properties and pH stability. As a natural antioxidant specifically recognized by the human OCTN-1 transporter protein, EGT efficiently accumulates in tissues with high oxidative stress (such as skin, liver, and brain). It exerts anti-aging, neuroprotective, and photoprotective effects by preserving mitochondrial function, inhibiting inflammatory pathways (e.g., NF-κB), and reducing DNA oxidative damage. With superior water solubility and thermal stability compared to most antioxidants, EGT requires protection from light to prevent degradation. It holds broad application potential in pharmaceuticals, skincare, and functional foods.

1. 2、Feature

(1) High Purity: Ergothioneine can be obtained in high purity through refined production processes, ensuring better bioavailability.
(2) Safety: Non-irritating to the human body with an excellent safety profile.

3、Applications

  Ergothioneine (EGT) is a naturally occurring sulfur-containing amino acid derivative, first discovered in ergot fungus in 1909. It is primarily found in foods such as mushrooms (e.g., porcini, truffles), oats, and animal liver. Since the human body cannot synthesize it endogenously, EGT must be obtained through diet or supplements. In recent years, due to its exceptional antioxidant, anti-aging, and cytoprotective properties, EGT has gained significant attention in pharmaceuticals, skincare, and nutraceuticals. 【Frequently Asked Questions】
