Ergothioneine is a powerful amino acid that helps fight the signs of aging and supports numerous aspects of health.
- Supports longevity by aiding in telomere length maintenence 1
- Combats oxidative stress in the brain to support cognition 2
- Protects the heart and is associated with reduced cardiovascular mortality 3
Research-Supported Benefits:
Supports Longevity. Research shows that ergothioneine supports longevity by protecting against accelerated telomere shortening. (1) Longer telomeres are a powerful predictor of increased lifespan and healthspan. (4)
Maintains Cellular Health. Ergothioneine has been shown to reduce levels of oxidative stress. High levels of oxidative stress may contribute to DNA damage, a decline in ATP (cellular energy) production and elevated inflammatory markers. (5)
Promotes Heart Health. By reducing oxidative stress, ergothioneine exhibits powerful cardioprotective properties. Oxidative stress is associated with accelerated aging of heart cells, studies show ergothioneine reduces cardiac-related mortality risk. (6)
Enhances Brain Health. Low levels of ergothioneine are correlated with neurodegeneration and cognitive impairment. (7) Animal studies have found that administration of ergothioneine improves markers of memory and mood. (8)
Improves Performance. Research suggests ergothioneine may improve markers associated with fitness and muscle health. One study found that administration ergothioneine to mice increased time to exhaustion during aerobic activity and enhanced protein synthesis post-exercise. (9)

- Ergothioneine is an amino acid that your body is unable to make on its own but can be obtained from eating foods such as certain types of mushrooms and organ meat.
- As you age, levels of ergothioneine decline in the body, potentially contributing to a decline in cellular, brain, heart, and muscle health.
- Ergothioneine is absorbed in the small intestine and transported throughout the body via a specific transporter known as the Organic Cation Transporter 1 (OCTN1). This transporter is highly selective for ergothioneine, allowing it to enter cells efficiently.
- Once inside the cells, ergothioneine primarily exerts its effects as a potent antioxidant. It works by donating electrons to neutralize harmful free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) that are generated during normal cellular metabolism and in response to environmental stressors.
- Administration of ergothioneine in animal studies has been shown to reduce oxidative stress, mediate inflammatory markers, and promote cellular, brain, and heart health.
