    Ask a Question

    • What is L-ergothioneine used for?

      L-ergothioneine is a naturally occurring amino acid with potent antioxidant properties, used primarily for its potential anti-aging and cellular protection benefits. It is believed to help protect cells from oxidative stress and damage caused by free radicals, which can contribute to various age-related conditions. L-ergothioneine is often used in supplements aimed at supporting overall health, cognitive function, and longevity.

    • Is ergothioneine safe?

      Ergothioneine is generally considered safe for most people when taken in appropriate doses. It is a naturally occurring compound found in small amounts in certain foods, and the body has specific transporters designed to absorb and distribute it. However, as with any supplement, it's important to use ergothioneine as directed and be aware of potential interactions with medications or other supplements.

    • What is the brand name for ergothioneine?

      Ergothioneine is available under various brand names and in different formulations, as it is used by multiple supplement manufacturers. Some common brand names or products containing ergothioneine include "Life Extension Essential Youth L-Ergothioneine," "MitoPure," and "ErgothiAid."

    • What is ergothioneine in skin care?

      In skin care, ergothioneine is used for its potent antioxidant properties and potential anti-aging benefits. It is believed to help protect skin cells from oxidative stress and environmental damage, which can contribute to premature aging and skin deterioration. Ergothioneine may help maintain skin elasticity, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and support overall skin health.

    • How much ergothioneine per day?

      The optimal daily dose of ergothioneine can vary depending on individual factors and the specific product or formulation being used. Research on ergothioneine supplementation is still ongoing, and there is no universally established recommended daily allowance. Some studies have used doses ranging from 5 mg to 30 mg per day, with some products recommending doses up to 50 mg daily.

    • What is the best source of ergothioneine?

      While ergothioneine is available as a supplement, it can also be obtained from dietary sources. The best natural sources of ergothioneine are typically mushrooms, particularly varieties like oyster mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, and shiitake mushrooms. Other food sources include certain types of beans, oat bran, and organ meats like kidney and liver.
