1. Product Introduction
L Ergothioneine Extract is a naturally occurring amino acid and antioxidant derived from mushrooms, beans, and other natural sources. Recognized for its superior antioxidant properties, it helps protect cells from oxidative stress, making it highly sought after in the cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food, and skincare industries. Our extract is processed using advanced technology, ensuring high purity, bioavailability, and retention of its natural benefits.Studies have shown that ergothioneine has a strong antioxidant function and is known as the king of antioxidants. This is because as a natural amino acid derivative, ergothioneine is not easily consumed while being antioxidant, and it can also maintain the levels of other antioxidants, such as VC and glutathione. Mitochondria produce energy and consume oxygen every day, and ergothioneine can penetrate deep into the mitochondria to remove free radicals

3. Application Areas
Ergothioneine (L-Ergothioneine) is a rare natural chiral amino acid with a variety of unique cell physiological protection functions, such as scavenging free radicals, detoxification, maintaining DNA biosynthesis, normal cell growth, cell immunity, anti-radiation, whitening and anti-aging. Based on these functions, ergothioneine has broad application prospects in many fields:
Organ transplantation: Ergothioneine can be used as an antioxidant to protect transplanted organs from free radical damage.
Cosmetics: Ergothioneine can reduce the formation of reactive oxygen species and protect cells from radiation damage, so it is often added to cosmetics as a skin protectant.
Ophthalmology: Ergothioneine also shows a key role in ophthalmic protection and may be used to develop products related to ophthalmic treatment surgery.
Food and beverage: Ergothioneine is approved by the European Union as a new food ingredient and can be used in food supplements for the general population.
Animal feed: Ergothioneine can also be used in animal feed to improve animal health and productivity.
Biomedicine: In the field of biomedicine, the research on ergothioneine involves its application in cell preservation, anti-radiation, etc.
4. Mechanism of action of ergothioneine in beauty and skin care
Moisturizing: ergothioneine can help the skin lock in moisture, reduce the loss of moisture in the dermis of the skin, keep the skin moisturized for a long time, avoid dryness, peeling, redness and other discomfort symptoms of the skin, and reduce the formation of fine lines.
Antioxidant: ergothioneine is an antioxidant that can help the skin resist and remove free radicals, reduce their damage and decomposition to skin collagen, and slow down skin aging.
Relieve inflammation: ergothioneine can also help the skin relieve inflammation, avoid skin sensitivity, erythema and other discomfort symptoms, reduce the damage of inflammation to the skin, and protect skin health.
Anti-aging: ergothioneine can prevent skin aging and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by reducing the generation and impact of free radicals. In addition, it can promote the synthesis of collagen and enhance the elasticity and firmness of the skin.
Whitening and freckle removal: ergothioneine can inhibit the activity of melanocytes, reduce the production of melanin, and has a synergistic effect when used with human placenta extract.
Control secretion: Ergothioneine has a strong bactericidal effect, which can effectively remove bacteria on the surface of the skin and help eliminate acne and blackheads. In addition, ergothioneine can also reduce spots and pigmentation, making the skin smoother and softer.
Promote skin metabolism: Ergothioneine can promote skin metabolism, remove dead skin cells, and make the skin smoother and more delicate. At the same time, it can also accelerate skin regeneration, promote collagen synthesis, and help improve skin elasticity and glossiness.
Anti-aging: Ergothioneine has coenzyme-like properties and participates in various biochemical activities of the human body. When applied to the skin, it can increase the activity of cortical cells and has an anti-aging effect.
