Ergothioneine

Ergothioneine API

Ergothioneine is a naturally occurring amino acid-derived antioxidant, studied for its powerful cytoprotective and anti-aging properties. It is synthesized by fungi and bacteria and accumulates in tissues exposed to oxidative stress.

 
Mechanism & Research:

Ergothioneine is transported into cells via the OCTN1 transporter, where it:

Neutralizes reactive oxygen species (ROS)

Protects mitochondria and DNA from oxidative damage

Supports immune health, cognitive function, and cell longevity

It is being explored for applications in neurodegenerative diseases, inflammation, skin health, and chronic fatigue.

 
API Features (Gentolex Group):

High purity ≥99%

Produced under GMP-like standards

Suitable for nutraceuticals and pharmaceutical formulations

Ergothioneine API is a next-generation antioxidant ideal for anti-aging, brain health, and metabolic support.
