ERGOTIONINE

Sourcing: Of vegetable origin, ergothioneine is extracted from mushrooms, the richest in this amino acid being the Porcini, or white mushroom.

Benefits: An amino acid that provides high antioxidant power, prevents oxidation and also combats free radicals in the body, not only in cell membranes, but also has the ability to act in the mitochondria, the organelle where the cellular energy  needed for all the body's biochemical reactions is produced. As a result, it delays skin ageing and the appearance of wrinkles.
