Ergothioneine is a low-molecular-weight thiol compound that serves as a potent antioxidant and free radical scavenger within cells. It is synthesized by some organisms or obtained through diet, particularly from mushrooms and certain plants.

 

 

1. Cosmetics and Skincare: Ergothioneine is incorporated into skincare products due to its ability to protect skin cells from oxidative stress and damage caused by UV radiation and environmental pollutants.
2. Nutritional Supplements: As a dietary supplement, ergothioneine is marketed for its potential health benefits, including enhancing the body's antioxidant defense system and supporting overall well-being.
3. Food and Beverage Industry: It is being explored as an ingredient in functional foods and beverages to boost their antioxidant content and appeal to health-conscious consumers.

1. Antioxidant Activity: Ergothioneine scavenges reactive oxygen species and other free radicals, thereby protecting cellular components from oxidative damage and potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
2. Cellular Protection: It specifically accumulates in mitochondria, the powerhouses of cells, where it provides additional protection against oxidative stress and supports mitochondrial function.
3. Metal Ion Binding: Ergothioneine can bind to metal ions, such as copper and iron, preventing them from catalyzing oxidative reactions that could harm cells.
