Introduction

Ergothioneine is a natural antioxidant that can protect cells in the human body and is an important active substance in the body. Natural antioxidants are safe and non-toxic, and have become a research hotspot. As a natural antioxidant, ergothioneine has entered people's field of vision. It has various physiological functions such as scavenging free radicals, detoxification, maintaining DNA biosynthesis, normal cell growth and cellular immunity.
Ergothioneine is a natural molecule isolated from the fungus Ergot rye and later found in rat red blood cells, liver and many other animal tissues. Its antioxidant properties may provide complex therapeutic potential, or may be used as a food additive or cosmetic.

Chemical properties

Use

●  Ergothioneine is a powerful hypochlorous acid scavenger (HOCl), and while many compounds react with hypochlorous acid, few react as rapidly as ergothioneine. a 1-Antiprotease inhibitors (APIs), such as elastase, are particularly sensitive to hypochlorous acid, while ergothioneine at physiological concentrations is very effective in protecting APIs against inactivation by hypochlorous acid, due to the Neutrophils are the main source of hypochlorous acid in the body, and one of the effects of ergothioneine is to protect red blood cells from harm from neutrophils from normal function or from sites of diseased inflammation.

●  Ergothioneine has a wide range of uses and market prospects in the fields of organ transplantation, cell preservation, medicine, food and beverage, functional food, animal feed, cosmetics and biotechnology. Used as a Unique Antioxidant: Ergothioneine is a highly protective, nontoxic natural antioxidant that is not easily oxidized in water, which allows them to reach mmol concentrations in some tissues and stimulates The cell's natural antioxidant defense system. Among the many antioxidants, ergothioneine is particularly unique, because ergothioneine can chelate heavy metal ions, which can protect red blood cells in the body from free radical damage.

●  L-ergothioneine is a natural molecule isolated from the fungus Ergot rye and later found in rat red blood cells and liver, as well as in many other animal tissues. Its antioxidant properties could provide the compound's therapeutic potential, or it could be used as a food additive or cosmetic.
