As the lifespan of the population increases, there is increased attention on healthspan, which is essential for a higher quality of life for the aging population. Healthspan is the period of one’s life that is healthy and free from serious diseases that reduce the quality of life. Supplementation can be vital to supporting a longer healthspan, and consumers are doing their research on innovative solutions.
Clinically-supported ErgoActive® Ergothioneine
A LONGEVITY VITAMIN THAT WORKS INSIDE CELLSϯ
Proposed as a longevity vitamin by Dr. Bruce Ames, L-ergothioneine is a potent antioxidant that works inside cells to combat oxidative stress.1 While ergothioneine is synthesized mainly in mushrooms, fungus, and soil bacteria, human cells express a transporter highly specific to ergothioneine. Despite not being produced in the body, ergothioneine is present in nearly all human cells, suggesting its significance in supporting human health. An in vitro study demonstrates that ErgoActive® preserved telomere length and reduced the rate of telomere shortening under oxidative stress conditions, supporting the benefit of ergothioneine for healthy aging.2 Emerging science shows potential cognitive, immune, prostate, and cardiovascular health benefits.
