Ergothioneine (EGT), a naturally occurring amino acid, has recently gained attention for its potential health benefits, particularly in the realms of antiaging and neuroprotection. Trace amounts are found in foodstuffs such as certain mushrooms. It is considered a vitamin because it has a role in metabolism (function

Exercise is one of the most effective ways to maintain long-term health and slow biological aging, but it also creates intense metabolic stress. When muscles work hard, they burn oxygen rapidly, producing reactive oxygen species (ROS). In small amounts, ROS help trigger beneficial a

The heart and blood vessels are constantly exposed to environmental toxins. Things such as high blood sugar, stress, poor diet, and even everyday metabolic reactions generate oxidizing toxins that can damage the lining of blood vessels. This "oxidative stress" is a root cause of many cardiovascular d

The immune system relies on a delicate balance. When threats appear, specialized immune cells called "macrophages" sound the alarm by releasing "cytokine" messengers to recruit reinforcements. However, a balanced response is needed. Too weak, infections linger; too strong, and the body can damage its o

The liver is a multi-functioning powerhouse. It filters toxins, processes nutrients, and helps regulate metabolism. But chronic injury from alcohol, fat buildup, viruses, or drugs can trigger liver fibrosis, a slow scarring process that can lead to cirrhosis (fatty liver). Fibro

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of irreversible vision loss in older adults. In roughly 90 % of AMD cases, cells in the eye's retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) gradually deteriorate under continuous "oxidative stress". These RPE cells act as the

Ergothioneine (EGT), is an amino acid found in small quantities in certain foods. Recently some interesting studies of its possible longevity benefits in humans have been done on skin. Here we will demystify an exciting research study on the relationship between EGT and skin aging. Short Summary of Findings Here is

Sleep problems are increasingly common in modern life. Stress, late-night screens, and irregular schedules can disturb the delicate balance of brain chemistry that controls rest and recovery. L-Ergothioneine (EGT) is an amino acid that can be found in trace amounts in some foods. Researchers have suspecte

L-Ergothioneine (EGT) is a naturally occurring amino acid found in trace amounts in foods such as mushrooms, beans, and oats. Research in recent years has explored how this unique nutrient may influence brain health and cognitive performance. In this post, we summarise a 2022 research review article from Kanazawa
