L-ergothioneine Powder

What Is L-Ergothioneine?

L-Ergothioneine is a natural antioxidant, which can play a protective role for cells in the human body and is an important active substance in the organism. It is an important active substance in the body. It has a variety of physiological functions such as scavenging high concentrations of free radicals in the body, maintaining DNA biosynthesis, normal cell growth and cellular immunity. Scientists have found that there is a protein OCTN1 in the human body that is specialized in the transport of L-Ergothioneine and is distributed in the cell membrane, mitochondrial membrane, and cell nuclear membrane. When the cells are damaged by oxidation, the cells will express a large number of OCTN1 proteins and actively absorb and accumulate L-Ergothioneine, so ergothioneine is recognized as a unique, multi-functional physiological cellular protection agent, able to intelligently protect the cells.

Adding L-Ergothioneine powder to skin care products can significantly slow down the aging phenomenon of the skin, lighten pigmentation, brighten the skin and increase the elasticity of the skin. L- Ergothioneine has a wide range of applications in the fields of cell preservation, medicine, food and beverage, functional food, animal feed, cosmetics and biotechnology.

The l ergothioneine powder supplied by Greenspring Technology adopts the mycelium joint green fermentation process, the purity of the product can reach more than 99%, which is safe, residue-free and green.

Specification: 

Regulation:

It conforms to EU regulations.

Benefits:

Whitening

l ergothioneine is a natural antioxidant that is highly protective of cells, non-toxic and not easily oxidized in water. This allows them to be present in some tissues at concentrations of up to 7mmol/L and to stimulate the cell's natural antioxidant defense system. Studies have shown that the addition of l ergothioneine powder to cosmetics at certain levels can prevent most pigmentation and whiten the skin.

Antioxidant

Ergothioneine is a natural antioxidant that reduces or even prevents protein glycation, thereby preventing age-related loss of skin elasticity, modifying and improving facial contours, and stopping or improving the appearance of cellulite.

Anti-Sunburn

Within the ultraviolet absorption range, ergot sulfur can serve as a physiological filter for ultraviolet radiation due to its absorption wavelength similar to DNA. Multiple literature has shown that l ergothioneine is a highly effective sunscreen ingredient that can prevent damage to the skin caused by ultraviolet radiation

Anti-inflammatory Effects

Peroxynitrite is formed endogenously by the limited diffusion reaction of NO and superoxide and is a potent oxidant associated with the pathophysiology of inflammatory conditions such as ischemia-reperfusion injury, atherosclerosis, acute pneumonia, and sepsis. Ergothioneine inhibits peroxynitrite anion-mediated oxidation of amino acids, such as complexine nitration, thus providing therapeutic feasibility for inflammation.

Synergy

Ergothioneine can regulate intracellular redox reactions, participate in intracellular energy regulation, and is a physiological protective agent for cells, with extremely safe and stable biological and pharmacological properties. Therefore, the addition of ergothioneine to the product not only maintains the stability of the other ingredients but also promotes the absorption of the active ingredients by the cells, which has a very good synergistic effect.

Applications:

In the food field:

On 13 July 2017, the European Commission issued Regulation (EU) 2017/1281 authorizing the placing on the market of L-ergothioneine as a new food ingredient in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council, and in the winter of the same year, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) issued a document endorsing the safety of the synthetic L-ergothioneine as a new food ingredient for use in the diets of infants and young children and in the diets of pregnant and lactating women.

In Cosmetics:

Due to the antioxidant and cytoprotective effects of ergothioneine, it is also used in cosmetic applications such as sunscreen, repair, whitening, and anti-aging.

In Pharmaceutical:

In the pharmaceutical field, L-ergothioneine is used in ophthalmic surgery, organ transplant surgery, and pharmaceutical products.
