Ergothioneine

Ergothioneine (EGT) is an amino acid distributed in all parts of the human body. There is an exclusive transporter protein OCTN-1 to actively bring the EGT into the cell’s mitochondrial and nucleus. EGT is a potent long-lasting natural active antioxidant. EGT was first found in mushrooms and can be absorbed by all mammals (including humans and our pets). It has been recognized as a unique, multi-functional physiological cell protector. EGT can be widely used in cosmetics, food, health care, and pharmaceutical industries. When used in cosmetics, the expected effects are as follows: Scavenging free radicals, detoxification, maintaining DNA stability/cell reproduction, enhancing cellular immunity, anti-radiation, skin brightening, anti-aging, anti-glycation, anti-inflammation, repair, anti-photoaging, and anti-oxidation.
