How Ergothioneine Works in the Body
Ergothioneine is a unique, powerful antioxidant that protects the body at a cellular level:
-
Selective Uptake: It’s absorbed by specific cells through the OCTN1 transporter, targetinghigh-need areas like the liver, kidneys, and brain.
-
Antioxidant Defense: Ergothioneine neutralizes harmful free radicals and binds to metals like iron and copper to prevent oxidative damage.
-
Anti-Inflammatory Support: It reduces inflammation by blocking key inflammatory markers, supporting joint health and reducing chronic inflammation.
-
Cell Protection: Protects DNA, proteins, and cell membranes from damage, helping to slow cellular aging.
-
Environmental Shield: Ergothioneine protects cells from environmental stressors like pollution and radiation.
Functions
L-Ergothioneine: Powerful Antioxidant and Cell Protector
L-Ergothioneine is a unique antioxidant that plays multiple roles in protecting cells from damage:
-
Scavenges Harmful Molecules (ROS): Ergothioneine neutralizes reactive oxygen species (ROS), like hydroxyl radicals (•OH), hypochlorous acid (HClO), and peroxynitrite (ONOO-), which can damage cells.
- Chelates Metal Ions: It binds to metal ions like copper (Cu2+) and iron (Fe2+), preventing these metals from contributing to harmful oxidative reactions.
-
Activates Other Antioxidants: Ergothioneine also boosts other antioxidant pathways in the body.
