Product overview
Ergothioneine is a natural antioxidant, which can protect cells in the human body and is an important active substance in the body. Natural antioxidants are safe, non-toxic and have become a hot topic of research. As a kind of natural antioxidant, ergothione has entered people's field of vision. It has many physiological functions, such as scavenging free radicals, detoxification, maintaining DNA biosynthesis, normal cell growth and cellular immunity.

Storage :
Store in a cool, dry, dark, and high-temperature place.

Packaging :
Negotiate or use double layer plastic bags internally, 1kg aluminum foil bags, 25kg drum.

FUNCTIONS:

1. Antioxidant effect

Ergothionein is a natural amino acid derived from plants and accumulated in animals, which can effectively clear -OH, prevent H2O2 from forming -OH under the action of iron or copper ions, inhibit the oxidation of copper-dependent oxygenated hemoglobin and inhibit peroxide reaction.

2. Protective effect on cells

Ergothione is a powerful hypochlorite scrubber (HOCl). Physiological concentrations of ergothione are very effective in protecting API against hypochlorite induced inactivation and protecting red blood cells from neutrophils from normal functioning or diseased inflammatory sites.

3. Anti-inflammatory effect

Ergothione can inhibit the oxidation of amino acids mediated by peroxynitroso anions, such as the nitration of tyrosine, thus providing a feasible treatment for inflammation.

4. Other biological functions

a. Catalysis of carboxylation or decarboxylation of cations and carbon dioxide;

b. Regulating thyroid and anti-thyroid effects;

c. Regulation of histamine or antihistamine action;

d. cholinoid function or anti-parasympathetic physiological effect;

e. can regulate the reactivity of other acyl carriers or itself as an acid base carrier.

f. Strong antioxidant activity.

Can be made into functional food, functional drinks and other products;

Application situation

1. Used as a unique antioxidant

Ergothioneine is a highly protective, non-toxic natural antioxidant that is not easily oxidized in water, which allows their concentration in some tissues to reach mmol and activates the cell's natural antioxidant defense system.

2. For organ transplantation

Because ergothione is stable in aqueous solution and can chelate heavy metal ions as an antioxidant, it can be used as a substitute for glutathione in the field of organ protection to better protect transplanted organs.

3. Add to cosmetics

Ergothione can minimize the formation of reactive oxygen species and protect cells from radiation damage, so ergothione can be used as a skin protective agent added to some cosmetics for the development of outdoor skin care products and protective cosmetics.

4. Application in ophthalmology

Ophthalmic surgery is usually performed locally, and the water solubility and stability of ergothioneine provide feasibility for this kind of surgery, which has great application value.

5. Applications in other aspects

In the field of medicine can be used to treat inflammation, can be made into tablets, capsules, oral preparations, etc.;

In the field of health care products can prevent the occurrence of cancer;
