L-ERGOTHIONEINE ENHANCES CELLULAR VITALITY

Mitochondrial Protection

Mitochondria are the powerhouses of our cells, responsible for producing energy through aerobic respiration. However, this process generates large amounts of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), unstable molecules that can damage mitochondrial membranes, trigger apoptosis, and accelerate cellular aging, especially in the skin. Unlike most antioxidants, L-Ergothioneine (EGT) has a unique ability to penetrate cells and reach mitochondria via the OCTN-1 transporter, where it directly neutralizes ROS. This targeted action helps preserve mitochondrial integrity, reduce oxidative stress, and enhance cellular vitality. By working in synergy with glutathione, EGT supports long-term antioxidant defense, reduces cell death, and promotes healthier, more resilient skin.

A RARE AMINO ACID

Anti-inflammatory and anti-aging benefits

L-Ergothioneine is a rare amino acid found naturally in mushrooms and cyanobacteria, often referred to as the “world’s strongest antioxidant.” What makes it truly exceptional is that the human body cannot synthesize it, we rely entirely on dietary sources to obtain it. EGT stands out for its cytoprotective properties, offering superior resistance to auto-oxidation compared to other thiols like glutathione. Its anti-inflammatory and anti-aging effects make it a powerful ally for skin health, helping to soothe irritation, strengthen the skin barrier, and reduce oxidative stress at the cellular level. With its ability to protect where it matters most, inside the mitochondria, EGT is redefining how we approach skin longevity and cellular wellness.
