Cosmetic grade 99% Antioxidant 497-30-3 EGT L-Ergothioneine Ergothioneine

Ergothioneine, also known as L-(+)-Ergothioneine or simply ERGO, is a rare natural chiral amino acid and antioxidant. It was first discovered by Charles Tanret in 1909 during his research on ergot fungus, and later found in mushrooms and cyanobacteria. Ergothioneine is widely distributed in the cells and tissues of mammals, playing a crucial role in various physiological functions such as scavenging free radicals, whitening skin, anti-aging, preventing UV radiation damage, and maintaining DNA synthesis and normal cell growth.
