Product description:
Ergothioneine is a natural antioxidant that can protect cells in the human body and is an important active substance in the body. Natural antioxidants are safe and non-toxic, and have become a research hotspot. As a natural antioxidant, ergothioneine has entered people's field of vision. It has various physiological functions such as scavenging free radicals, detoxification, maintaining DNA biosynthesis, normal cell growth and cellular immunity.

Application:
1. Use as a unique antioxidant. Ergothionein is a highly protective, non-toxic, natural antioxidant that is not easily oxidized in water, which allows them to be present in concentrations up to mmol in certain tissues and stimulates the cells' natural antioxidant defense system.
2. Application in ophthalmology. In recent years, ergothiamine has been found to play a key role in eye protection, so many researchers hope to develop an ophthalmic product to facilitate the development of eye surgery.
3. In the field of health products, it can be made into functional food and drinks, etc. In the field of cosmetics, it can be used for anti-aging, and can be made into sunscreen and other products
Function:
1. Anti-oxidize effect
Studies have shown that a certain concentration of ergothioneine in the body
can act as an antioxidant.
2. Protective effect on cells
Ergothioneine is a powerful hypochlorous acid scavenger (HOCI), and while many compounds react with hypochlorous acid, few react as rapidly as ergothioneine.
3. Anti-inflammatory effect
Ergothioneine can inhibit peroxynitrite-mediated amino acid oxidation, such as tyrosine nitration, thus providing feasibility for the treatment of inflammation.
4. Metabolism
Ergothioneine can boost metabolism
5. Other biological functions
Transport cations and catalysis of carbon dioxide carboxylation or decarboxylation reactions;
Modulate histamine or antihistamine effects; Choline-like function or anti- parasympathetic neurophysiological effect; can modulate the reactivity of other acyI carriers or itself as an acid-based carrier.
