What Is the ErgoActive® Research Program?
The ErgoActive® Research Program for Healthy Aging & Longevity is a collaborative initiative led by Blue California to support scientific discovery and clinical research on L-ergothioneine, a uniquely stable antioxidant with significant potential to promote human longevity and healthspan.
Through this program, we work with academic researchers to explore the diverse roles of ergothioneine in supporting various aspects of human health, including improving quality of life in vulnerable populations. We support clinical and pilot studies, preclinical studies (cell culture and animal studies). We also support research applications beyond human health to include companion animals.
How We Support Researchers
Blue California provides more than just material support—we build partnerships that empower meaningful science. Researchers working with us gain access to:
- High-quality material donations for both preclinical and clinical studies
- Letters of support, early-stage grant collaboration, and ongoing engagement
- Scientific consultation on study design and manuscript development
- Opportunities to share your research through joint publications, interviews, and educational content
- Project funding (special conditions apply)
- Access to industry partners, research tools, and a growing professional network
Our Mission
To accelerate the scientific understanding and real-world application of ergothioneine as a “longevity vitamin”, and to empower researchers to deliver rigorous, impactful findings that support human health and healthy aging.
