what is Ergothioneine Powder?
As a manufacturer of ergothioneine powder, KINTAI is committed to providing high-quality, high-purity ergothioneine to meet the needs of your needs. Ergothioneine, as a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory substance, is known as the "longevity vitamin" and has important physiological functions in biology, helping to maintain the health of the organism and delay aging.


Origin and properties of ergothioneine
Ergothioneine (EGT) is an antioxidant amino acid. It was first discovered by French pharmacist Charles Tanret in 1909 while studying the ergot fungus that destroyed rye grains. There are two isomers in nature: L (left-handed) and D (right-handed). Ergothioneine usually exists in the form of l-ergothioneine, and the D form has low or no activity.
Since the human body cannot directly synthesize EGT, it can only be obtained through ergothioneine foods. Among common human foods, EGT is widely found in edible fungi, such as porcini, gray oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, hericium, etc. Therefore, at first, kintai extracted ergothioneine in mushrooms.


Production technology and quality assurance
Our bulk ergothioneine mainly exists in the form of highly bioavailable L-EGT. After repeated high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) testing, its purity is close to 100%, ensuring the quality and safety of the product. Through years of research and development, in addition to mushroom extraction, we have adopted a variety of production processes, including combined fermentation, biosynthesis and other methods, which greatly reduces production costs and ensures a stable supply of products.

What is the role of EGT?(Ergothioneine benefits )
The removal of free radicals and antioxidant capabilities can address skin issues at the source, as numerous scientific studies have confirmed. Among many active ingredients, EGT stands out with its absolute power in antioxidation, effectively protecting and repairing the skin from within, enhancing its barrier function. Bruce Ames, a member of the National Academy of Sciences, an expert in cancer and anti-aging, and a professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of California, refers to EGT as the "longevity nutrient."

Research by Dr. B.D. Paul at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine found that EGT is the only long-lasting natural antioxidant that enters mitochondria and cell nuclei. It utilizes the "OCTN-1 transporter protein" to selectively remove ROS free radicals, transporting EGT to the main "lesion" of free radical production in cells-the mitochondria. There, it protects mitochondria from oxidative damage and directly eliminates reactive oxygen species, thus eliminating aging factors at the root. Therefore, EGT is more easily absorbed by the body and its antioxidative effects are more enduring.
Scientific research indicates that EGT's anti-aging function mainly manifests in three aspects: antioxidation, anti-photoaging, and mitochondrial protection. It can also be understood as protecting against UV damage, removing free radicals, and smoothing wrinkles.
In fact, its functionality is so remarkable that many researchers refer to it as the longevity vitamin, recommending it to be marked as the recommended daily intake of vitamins. Some call it the "longevity vitamin," while others simply call it "vitamin"! However, the most intriguing aspect of ergothioneine powder is how easily the human body absorbs and utilizes it-by any measure, its bioavailability is very high. Given that it is a naturally occurring bioactive ingredient, this suggests that the body has calibrated itself to a certain level of EGT intake. Although researchers have not formally determined the daily intake, we suggest considering incorporating more EGT-rich foods into your diet and considering ergothioneine supplements for the health benefits they bring to your country."
The Mechanism of Action of EGT

EGT, through the transport protein OCTN1 located on the cell membrane and mitochondrial membrane, is transported into the vital "energy factories" of cells, the mitochondria. Here, it exerts its antioxidant function, inhibits DNA damage, effectively shields against UV damage, protects cells, and prevents photoaging.
Simultaneously, it possesses the ability to clear free radicals, reduce lipid peroxidation, and promote the body's own antioxidant enzymes. In terms of antioxidant capacity, EGT stands out, capable of outperforming competitors such as the formidable coenzyme Q10 and alpha-tocopherol.
Current Application Status of EGT
ergothioneine powder has seen a cross-sectoral development in industries such as cosmetics, food, functional food, and biomedicine.
According to research, the global market size of EGT was approximately 130 million yuan in 2021, and it is expected to reach 1.1 billion yuan by 2028, indicating its highly promising prospects as an anti-aging ingredient.
Among them, cosmetics are one of the most widely used fields for EGT application. The United States and Europe are the largest markets for EGT application, considering it as the fifth-generation antioxidant and incorporating it into various high-end cosmetics brands. Since 2014, China has included EGT in the catalog of cosmetic raw materials supervised by the National Medical Products Administration, deepening the research and application of EGT powder.
Currently, as a supplier of bulk EGT raw materials, Kintai has sold EGT powder to countries and regions such as Europe, America, and Japan, and EGT produced by Kintai has expanded into the food industry.
Application of EGT in Cosmetics(ergothioneine skin benefits)

In recent years, natural ingredients have gained widespread attention in cosmetics. Consumers' demand for cosmetics containing natural or organic ingredients has been growing steadily, as these ingredients are perceived as healthier, safer, and more environmentally friendly. Due to its excellent efficacy, stability, and water solubility, EGT can adapt to most formulations. Additionally, EGT produced by Kintai through biotechnology has higher purity and sustainability compared to natural extracts.
EGT has been widely used in nutritional, anti-aging, and sunscreen cosmetics, without being limited by specific formulation systems. Furthermore, our company's oral nutritional cosmetics and supplements containing EGT have been sold in Europe and America, often interacting with other vitamin components. However, due to the relatively high cost of our high-purity ergothioneine powder and fermented products in cosmetics, we have adopted a more cost-effective synthetic purification technology to produce this product. This approach can to some extent save your production costs and has been tested for many years to have product efficacy, ensuring lasting competitiveness in the market
Summary of skincare products containing EGT (2023)
The EU's 2016 safety declaration on L-EGT as a food additive further paved the way for its utilization in food preservation and freshness.
In 2017, the European Union (EU) approved L-EGT as a new food ingredient for dietary supplements, with daily limits set at 30 milligrams for adults and 20 milligrams for children over three years old, while pregnant and lactating women are advised against its use.
The EU expanded the use of L-EGT in 2018 to include beverages, cereal bars, and other common foods, beyond just dietary supplements.
In 2019, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) deemed ErgoActive® (EGT) safe under expected usage conditions, enabling its incorporation into various consumer products like cosmetics, food items, and health supplements.
Functional foods containing EGT hit the Japanese market in 2020, targeting the enhancement of memory function in the elderly. Moreover, L-EGT aqueous solution demonstrates notable food preservation properties. Research indicates that treating post-harvest mushrooms with L-EGT solution can slow down browning and prolong shelf life. Extracted L-EGT aqueous solution from enoki mushrooms can hinder high ferritin production in tuna meat, preventing lipid peroxidation and maintaining its vibrant color. Under low-temperature conditions, mushroom extracts enriched with L-EGT inhibit lipid oxidation in salmon muscle tissue.
Safety and l-ergothioneine side effects
To date, toxicological studies have not unearthed any adverse effects of EGT. Population intervention research suggests EGT serves as an independent marker for reduced risks of cardiovascular metabolic diseases and mortality. Increased consumption of EGT-rich mushroom foods correlates positively with improved cognitive function and lower chances of mild cognitive impairment. No safety concerns have been reported regarding the application of EGT.
