Ergothioneine is an amino acid with antioxidant and cytoprotective properties. It is widely used in nutritional supplements due to its numerous health benefits, which can include increased immune system function, anti-inflammatory properties, and many others. It is also highly bioavailable, meaning it can easily be absorbed into the bloodstream after ingestion.
Existing sourcing and production methods for ergothioneine supplements typically rely on edible mushrooms; however, due to recent advancements in synthetic biology, this extraction process is no longer required. Leading research and biopharmaceutical company GeneIII Biotech has developed high-purity ergothioneine production processes to meet global demands. Using industry- leading, patented technology and the principles of synthetic biology, we are able to supply raw bioactive materials to supplement brands worldwide looking to enter the market or improve their existing products.
