EGT
Research-Backed Antioxidant Support for Cellular Protection & Healthy Ageing
EGT, also known as L-Ergothioneine, is a naturally derived antioxidant nutrient widely studied for its ability to support cellular protection against oxidative stress. Its unique biological relevance is supported by the discovery of a dedicated human transporter, OCTN1/SLC22A4, which enables targeted uptake and accumulation of EGT in the body. Scientific literature has described ergothioneine as a physiologically important cytoprotectant, while healthy-ageing research has proposed it as a promising “longevity vitamin” candidate.
