About

L-ergothioneine is an amino acid that’s widely distributed throughout the body.

It cannot be produced by the body, so it must be obtained through the diet. L-ergothioneine is found (in small quantities) in a variety of food sources, but the highest concentrations are in certain types of mushrooms.

This food-derived amino acid is thought to support long-term health through free radical scavenging. In addition, the body has a highly specific mechanism to transport L-ergothioneine into your cells.

Only a few types of mushrooms supply significant quantities of L-ergothioneine and one of the best sources is the golden oyster mushroom.

Matakana Health is one of the first companies to provide a naturally occurring (non-synthetic), version of an L-ergothioneine supplement. By using dual-extraction technology on the fruiting body of the golden oyster mushroom, 1% natural L-ergothioneine and immune supporting beta- glucans (at 30%) are obtained.

L-ergothioneine levels can decrease as we age and supplementing with L-ergothioneine is one of the latest strategies to support healthy ageing.
