About this item

• Anti-Photoaging: Inhibits UV-induced collagen-degrading enzymes (MMP-1/3), reducing wrinkles and pigmentation.
• Skin Brightening: Blocks tyrosinase activity (similar to arbutin but gentler), suppressing melanin synthesis for a more even complexion.
• Circadian Rhythm Regulation: Decreases oxidative stress in the pineal gland, enhancing deep sleep duration.
• Potent Antioxidant Activity – Targeted Free Radical Scavenging & Mitochondrial Protection. Unlike conventional antioxidants (e.g., vitamin C/E), ergothioneine intelligently identifies and neutralizes the most destructive radicals, particularly hydroxyl radicals (OH·) and peroxynitrite (ONOO⁻), shielding DNA and mitochondria from oxidative damage (Nature Communications).
• Mitochondrial Guardian: Accumulates within mitochondria, reduces free radical leakage from the electron transport chain (ETC), and enhances ATP production efficiency, thereby delaying cellular aging.
• These mechanisms make ergothioneine a multi-functional anti-aging powerhouse, supporting longevity from cellular energy to skin health and cognitive function.
