The efficacy of ergothioneine:
1. Antioxidant
Ergothioneine is an antioxidant amino acid. It is a natural antioxidant, safe and non-toxic, and has a variety of physiological functions such as detoxification and maintenance of DNA biosynthesis. Antioxidation is mainly reflected in slowing down the aging rate of the human body, which is also ergot Thiine's core function.
2. Protection of cells
Ergothioneine is a powerful hypochlorous acid scavenger (HOCl). Although many compounds can react with hypochlorous acid, it is rarely able to react as quickly as ergothioneine. It can protect red blood cells from normal function or The harm of neutrophils in the pathological inflammation site.
3. Anti-inflammatory effect
Ergothione can inhibit the amino acid oxidation of peroxynitroso anion medium, such as nitration of tyrosine, thus providing the possibility of treatment of inflammation.
4. Acts on skin protectant
Ergothione can minimize the formation of reactive oxygen species and protect cells from radiation damage, so ergothioneine can be added as a skin protectant to certain cosmetics and used to develop outdoor skin care products and protective cosmetics.
