Main Uses:
L-Ergothionene 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, non-toxic, and have become a hot research topic. L-Ergothionene, as a natural antioxidant, has entered people's field of vision. It has various physiological functions such as clearing free radicals, detoxification, maintaining DNA biosynthesis, normal cell growth, and cellular immunity.
1. Used as a unique antioxidant
L-Ergothionene is a highly protective and non-toxic natural antioxidant that is not easily oxidized in water, allowing its concentration in certain tissues to reach mmol and stimulating the cell's natural antioxidant defense system. Among numerous antioxidants, L-Ergothionine is particularly unique because ergothionein can chelate heavy metal ions, which can protect red blood cells in the body from free radical damage.
2. Used for organ transplantation
The amount and duration of preservation of existing tissues play a decisive role in the success of organ transplantation surgery. The most commonly used antioxidant for organ transplantation is glutathione, which is highly susceptible to oxidation when exposed to the environment. Even in refrigerated or liquid environments, its antioxidant capacity is greatly reduced, causing toxicity to cells and inflammation, inducing the hydrolysis of tissue proteins. And L-Ergothionene is like an antioxidant that is stable in aqueous solution and can chelate heavy metal ions. It can be used as a substitute for glutathione in the field of organ protection, better achieving the protection of transplanted organs.
3. Add to cosmetics as a skin protectant
The ultraviolet rays UVA in sunlight can penetrate into the dermis layer of human skin, affecting the growth of epidermal cells, causing surface cells to age and die, leading to premature aging of the skin, while ultraviolet UVB is more likely to cause skin cancer. L-Ergothioneine can minimize the formation of reactive oxygen species and protect cells from radiation damage. Therefore, L-Ergothioneine can be added as a skin protectant to certain cosmetics for the development of outdoor skincare products and protective cosmetics.
4. Application in ophthalmology
Research has found that L-Ergothionene plays a crucial role in protecting the eyes, so many researchers hope to develop an ophthalmic product to promote the development of ophthalmic treatment surgery. Ophthalmic surgery is generally performed locally, and the water solubility and stability of L-Ergothioneine provide feasibility for this type of surgery and have great practical value.
5. In other applications
Due to its excellent performance, L-Ergothionene can be applied in many fields. For example, used in the fields of medicine, food, health products, cosmetics, etc. In the field of medicine, it can be used to treat inflammation and can be made into tablets, capsules, oral preparations, etc; In the field of health products, it can prevent the occurrence of cancer, and can be made into functional foods, functional drinks, and other products. In the field of cosmetics, it can be used for anti-aging and can be made into sunscreen and other products.
