L-Ergothioneine is a water-soluble substance extracted from wheat ergot. It is similar to glutathione contained in the human body. It has the functions of antioxidant, scavenging free radicals, and regulating immunity. It is currently the most important antioxidant in human cells. Ergothionein has strong antioxidant capacity and can inhibit the activity of various oxidase enzymes in the human body, thereby reducing the content of lipid peroxide in the body and has a certain effect on preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Ergothioneine antioxidant function

Studies have found that the oxidation process of the human body includes three links: the generation of free radicals, the scavenging process of free radicals, and the regulation of the body's self-stability, which are all affected by the production of free radicals.

In the antioxidant system, glutathione is one of the most important antioxidants, which can scavenge excess free radicals in the body. Glutathione produces superoxide free radicals by combining with superoxide ions in the body, which causes oxidation reactions of macromolecules such as proteins and fats in the body, which in turn leads to a series of diseases in the body. Therefore, in the antioxidant system, glutathione is an essential antioxidant. In glutathione, ergothioneine plays an important role.

Ergothioneine can promote the circulation of glutathione in cells, thereby enhancing its antioxidant effect and reducing cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

Biosynthetic advantage

Compared with chemical synthesis and natural biological extraction processes, the production of ergot sulfur by natural edible fungus fermentation has the advantages of low cost, easy access to raw materials, easy expansion of yield, diverse product forms, no risk of genetic modification, no customs taboos, no risk of animal diseases, and high product safety.

Ergothioneine is often used with other ingredients to enhance its effects due to its powerful antioxidant properties. It can be used synergistically with sodium hyaluronate to more effectively exert its antioxidant effect. It can also be used with arbutin to increase the whitening effect.

The ergothioneine provided by Ahualyn has the advantages of high quality and high production capacity. The ergothioneine is produced by the cGMP pharmaceutical platform, with a raw material purity of 99.97%, stable and odor-free. The factory has a purification processing capacity of 20 tons of fermentation tanks, and quickly realizes the engineering mass production of ergothioneine, with a monthly production capacity of 3 tons.
