Product Information
Ergothioneine (EGT) is a natural amino acid derivative found in many plants and animals. Unlike other amino acids, ergothioneine cannot be synthesized by the human body, and thus, it can only be obtained through a balanced diet. Transporting ergothioneine into cells is made possible by a highly specific cationic transporter protein known as slc22a4 (previously known as OCTN1). With its potent antioxidant properties, ergothioneine is an effective ingredient in reducing free radicals and has a significant impact on human physiological activities.
