What is L-Ergothioneine？

Function：

• Efficient antioxidant: Ergothioneine contains antioxidant raw materials, which can effectively remove free radicals in the body and protect cells from oxidative damage.
• Mitochondrial protection: It has a significant protective effect on mitochondria and DNA, preventing mitochondrial DNA from being damaged by free radicals and maintaining the integrity of genetic information.
• Anti-inflammatory effect: Inhibits the production of inflammatory mediators and the activation and migration of inflammatory cells, reduces inflammatory responses, and reduces pain by inhibiting the synthesis of cyclooxygenase and prostaglandins.
• Cell repair and regeneration: Protect cells from damage such as hypoxia and ischemia, promote cell repair and regeneration, inhibit cell apoptosis, and maintain normal cell functions.
• Anti-tumor activity: Inhibit the growth and spread of tumor cells, induce tumor cell apoptosis, and enhance the body's immune function.
• Cardiovascular protection: Protect the heart from ischemia-reperfusion injury and improve cardiac function.
• Liver Protection: Protects the liver from drug damage and promotes liver health.
• Whitening and sun protection: It can protect the skin from damage caused by ultraviolet radiation and reduce DNA damage and inflammatory reactions in skin cells caused by ultraviolet rays. The Whitening and clearing speckles raw materials contained in ergothioneine can also reduce pigmentation and reduce the formation of spots and freckles, which has a positive effect on whitening skin and improving uneven skin tone.
  

Application:

• Cosmetics materials: used to develop outdoor skin care products and protective cosmetics to reduce the formation of reactive oxygen species, protect skin cells from radiation damage, and achieve anti-aging and sun protection effects.
• Pharmaceutical raw materials: used to treat inflammation, cardiovascular disease, tumors and other diseases. It can be made into tablets, capsules and oral preparations, etc., and has significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
• Health care material: used to make functional foods and functional drinks to prevent cancer and improve human immunity.
• Animal feed: As an animal feed additive, it can improve the antioxidant capacity and immunity of animals and promote the healthy growth of animals.
