Antioxidant star - L-ergothioneine
L-ergothioneine (EGT) is a sulfur-containing amino acid with antioxidant effect, which is a natural cell protectant and antioxidant in the human body, which can remove free radicals in the cell and reverse the oxidized VC in the cell, and is now a popular anti-aging star ingredient.
A large number of studies on ergothioneine have confirmed that it has significant effects in sunscreen, whitening, anti-aging, anti-radiation, inhibiting inflammation, reducing glycosylation and other aspects.
As a powerful antioxidant, it cleans up free radicals in the body and protects cells from oxidative damage. Compared with VC and VE, EGT has a more powerful antioxidant effect, first because EGT's antioxidant is at the DNA level, which can effectively protect mitochondria from free radical damage, thereby protecting DNA from damage, and secondly, its ability to clear free radicals is 3 times that of Aidibenzene, 14 times that of glutathione, and 30 times that of coenzyme Q10. This helps prevent cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and other diseases related to oxidative stress.
