Description

Product Profile

L-Ergothioneine is a natural stable sulfur-containing amino acid derivative originally extracted from mushrooms and fungi. Different from common antioxidants such as glutathione, it will not self-oxidize easily under normal physiological environment. Human body has specific OCTN1 transport protein to absorb and accumulate Ergothioneine into skin cells, mitochondria and vital organs, delivering long-lasting targeted cellular anti-oxidation protection. It is a premium high-value active raw material widely applied in global high-end cosmetics, functional food and dietary supplement industries.

Core Functional Benefits

For Cosmetic Application

1. Powerful Anti-photoaging & Antioxidation: Scavenge excess free radicals inside cells and mitochondria, resist oxidative damage caused by UV radiation, blue light and environmental pollution, slow down skin aging effectively.
2. Skin Barrier Repair & Anti-inflammation: Relieve redness, stinging and inflammatory irritation of sensitive skin, reduce UV-induced inflammatory reaction, strengthen fragile skin barrier.
3. Anti-wrinkle & Anti-glycation: Inhibit collagen degradation and protein glycation, maintain skin elasticity, reduce fine lines and sagging problems caused by aging.
4. Inhibit Pigmentation: Suppress abnormal melanin deposition, brighten dull skin tone, improve uneven pigmentation safely and mildly. Recommended addition amount: 0.01%~1%.

For Oral Dietary Supplement & Functional Food

1. Whole-body cellular anti-oxidation, relieve long-term oxidative pressure from staying up late, work fatigue and electronic radiation.
2. Protect vulnerable organs including eyes, liver and kidney against oxidative damage; assist immune system regulation.
3. Relieve joint mild inflammation, improve body anti-stress capacity, widely used in anti-aging oral capsules, solid drinks and nutritional tablets.
