What’s L Ergothioneine(ERG)?
L Ergothioneine(ERG) is a sulfur-containing amino acid found in the fruiting bodies and mycelia of some species of mushrooms. The highest concentrations of l-ergothioneine are found in mushrooms, particularly Shiitake mushrooms, Boletus edulis (porcini mushroom) and oyster mushrooms. It is also synthesized in Actinomycetales bacteria and non-yeast fungi. Mushrooms and other foods are rich in ergothioneine, but finding them may be difficult. A few species of mushroom contain up to 7 mg of ERG per gram of dry weight. These include Sparassis crispa, Tremella foliacea, Lepista, and Ramaria botrytis. You can purchase high-quality Ergothioneine powder extract from these mushrooms sources and synthesizing process.
L Ergothioneine is readily soluble in water, has excellent immunomodulating, anti-inflammatory properties and higher antioxidant activity than coenzyme Q10 and has been shown to protect plant cells from excessive oxidative stress.
