The Active Ingredient Is: L-Ergothioneine

L-Ergothioneine is a rare antioxidant amino acid that supports cellular protection and healthy ageing. This form is supplied as ErgoActive and is presented in vegetarian capsules for suitability with plant-based lifestyles.

This ingredient is absorbed via dedicated cell transporters and is linked to antioxidant activity that may help maintain cellular function as we age.

What Does L-Ergothioneine Do?

L-Ergothioneine helps neutralise oxidative stress at the cellular level, contributing to normal cellular protection and ageing processes. Research suggests potential associations with improved oxidative balance and cardiovascular and cognitive health, as observed in clinical and laboratory studies.

Dr. Cheah of the University of Melbourne found that higher ergothioneine levels are associated with healthier diets and heart health, supporting the nutrient’s role in maintaining normal physiological function.
