ErgoActive® Ergothioneine

A “Longevity Vitamin” for Cellular Health

L-ergothioneine (L-ET) is an amino acid with potent antioxidant properties, found in trace amounts in a variety of foods. There has been a surge of interest in L-ET as seen by a dramatic increase in scientific publications, in part due to the discovery of the L-ET transporter (ETT).

It has been proposed that L-ET may have an age-delaying or “longevity” function, and a recent in vitro study shows Blue California’s ErgoActive L-ET may slow the rate of telomere shortening.

This white paper will explore the following topics:

  • Bioavailability of L-ET and the decreasing levels as we age
  • Studies that demonstrate how ergothioneine may support cognitive health
  • How L-ET may impact frailty and why some researchers consider L-ET to be neuroprotective
  • In vitro study that demonstrates L-ET may preserve telomere length under oxidative stress
