Ergothionine (EGT) is a natural sulfur-containing amino acid with significant antioxidant properties.
The chemical name of ergothionein is mercapto histidine trimethyl internal salt.
Ergothionein has multiple physiological functions in the human body:
Antioxidant effect:
Ergothionein can scavenge free radicals, protect cells from oxidative stress damage, and its antioxidant capacity even exceeds that of coenzyme Q10 and glutathione.
Cell protection:
It can protect DNA and proteins from oxidative damage and reduce the damage of external factors such as ultraviolet radiation to cells.
Anti inflammation and detoxification: Ergothionein can inhibit inflammatory reactions and bind with heavy metal ions to help eliminate toxins from the body.
Anti aging:
By reducing tissue protein glycation and improving skin elasticity, ergotamine has shown significant effects in anti-aging.link:http://www.seasonbiology.com
