Overview

Ergothioneine (EGT) is a natural sulfur-containing amino acid derivative and a unique mitochondria-targeted antioxidant. It protects cells from oxidative damage and helps modulate inflammaging (chronic, low-grade inflammation associated with aging). EGT is transported into cells via the dedicated OCTN1 transporter, allowing it to accumulate in tissues under high oxidative stress — making it one of the most discussed “longevity vitamins” in cellular-health science.
