Ergothioneine

Ergothioneine is a powerful antioxidant and amino acid that your body can’t produce on its own, but it's essential for protecting your cells from oxidative stress and supporting long-term health. Sometimes referred to as the "longevity vitamin", ergothioneine accumulates in vital organs like the brain, liver, heart, and eyes, where it plays a protective role.

Naturally found in mushrooms and a few rare food sources, dietary intake of ergothioneine is often too low for optimal benefit. Charava’s 25mg L-Ergothioneine provides a convenient, concentrated dose to help fortify your body’s defences.

THE BENEFITS OF ERGOTHIONEINE:

• Brain and Cognitive Support Ergothioneine may help protect neurons from oxidative damage, support long-term brain health, and reduce mental fatigue. Preliminary research suggests it may improve memory and cognitive function in older adults. Low levels of ergothioneine have also been linked to conditions like dementia.
  
• Anti-ageing and Cellular Protection As a potent antioxidant, ergothioneine helps neutralise free radicals and may prevent cellular and DNA damage — two key factors in ageing. Some studies in animals have shown that it may improve cellular health, enhance stress resistance, and even boost muscle function.
  
• Immune & Inflammatory Support This unique compound may help modulate immune responses and reduce chronic inflammation, offering systemic benefits for those dealing with long-term inflammatory conditions.
  
• Eye, Heart & Liver Health Ergothioneine naturally accumulates in organs that require high levels of protection, such as the retina, heart tissue, and liver, helping maintain their function and prevent degeneration. Research also suggests higher levels of ergothioneine may be associated with a lower risk of heart disease and cardiovascular-related mortality. This may be due to its ability to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress — both major contributors to heart problems.
• Skin Health Emerging research indicates that ergothioneine may support skin hydration and reduce visible signs of ageing. In one study, individuals who took ergothioneine supplements for 12 weeks experienced improved skin hydration and elasticity compared to those on a placebo. This has sparked growing interest in its use in skincare products.
