Ergothioneine/EGT with Cas 497-30-3
What is Ergothioneine?
Ergothionein (EGT) is a natural sulfur-containing amino acid derivative that cannot be synthesized by the human body and needs to be supplemented externally. It is found in small amounts in natural foods such as mushrooms, red beans, and oats. Ergothionein is considered a safe supplement, with several studies supporting its low toxicity and high tolerance. Ergothionein was approved as a safe food ingredient in Europe in 2016 and in the United States in 2018, and can be used in dietary supplements, functional foods, and beverages.
With the deepening of research, ergotamine has positive effects in antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, liver health, urinary system health, intestinal health, cardiovascular system health, prevention of senile dementia, improvement of sleep disorders, etc., making it have broad application prospects in cosmetics, functional foods, clinical applications, biomedical and other fields.
