Research shows that l-ergothioneine, an amino acid found in certain mushrooms, offers powerful cellular protection against oxidative stress. Its benefits have also been linked to brain and heart health, as well as healthy vision.

Ergothioneine is an amino acid that’s widely distributed throughout your body, but levels have been shown to decline as we age. Your body can’t produce it, so you must get it through your diet—it’s found in a variety of food sources, but with the highest concentrations in certain types of mushrooms.

Why Should I Supplement With Essential Youth L-Ergothioneine?

In today's world, you don't have to be young to be youthful. With regular exercise and the proper nutrition you can fight against aging head on. And to help you on your quest, we created Essential Youth L-Ergothioneine. 

Longevity and telomere support

Ergothioneine has been shown to delay telomere shortening due to oxidative stress. Why would you want to delay telomeres from shortening? Your telomeres are like protective caps at the end of your chromosomes. As time goes by, these telomeres shorten naturally, in step with your aging process. In a preclinical study, L-ergothioneine had a protective effect on telomere length and slowed the rate of telomere shortening under oxidative stress conditions.

Brain and vision health

Low levels of ergothioneine in older adults have been linked with cognitive decline. In preclinical studies, ergothioneine showed beneficial neuroprotective properties from oxidative stress, supporting overall cognitive health.

The cell-protecting properties of ergothioneine have also been linked to vision health.

So are you ready to fight back against aging? Defy your age with Essential Youth L-Ergothioneine from Life Extension.
