    L-ERGOTHIONEINE 99% BY HPLC
    Premium Antioxidant for Nutraceutical & Cosmeceutical Applications

    1. Product Overview

    L-Ergothioneine (ERT) is a naturally occurring sulfur-containing amino acid derived from microbial fermentation, primarily found in mushrooms such as Tricholoma matsutake and Hericium erinaceus . Our product is a high-purity (≥99% by HPLC) crystalline powder with CAS No. 497-30-3, validated through rigorous chromatographic analysis . It exhibits exceptional stability in pH 4.0-6.0 formulations, making it ideal for skincare serums, lotions, and oral supplements .

    Key Features:

    • Purity: ≥99% (HPLC-certified, batch-specific COA provided) 
    • Molecular Formula: C₉H₁₅N₃O₂S | Molecular Weight: 229.3 g/mol 
    • Solubility: 125 mg/mL in water (ultrasonic-assisted) 
    • Certifications: Non-GMO, Allergen-Free, Vegan-Friendly 

    2. Quality Control & HPLC Methodology

    Our analytical process aligns with peer-reviewed protocols :

    • Sample Preparation: 1 mL culture medium boiled at 94°C for 10 min, vortexed (1600 rpm/30 min), centrifuged (10,000×g/5 min), and stored at -20°C if needed .
    • HPLC System: Dionex Ultimate 3000 with Chromeleon software .
    • Column: Cortecs UPLC T3 (2.1×150 mm, 1.6 μm particles, 120 Å pore size) .
    • Mobile Phase: Gradient elution from 0.1% formic acid to 70% acetonitrile/0.1% formic acid, flow rate 0.3 mL/min .
    • Detection: UV absorbance at 254 nm, LOQ 0.15 mmol/L .

    Validation Metrics:

    • Linearity: 0.3–10 mmol/L (R² >0.99) 
    • Precision: ≤6% RSD (intra-/inter-assay) 
    • Recovery: ~100% accuracy 

    3. Health Benefits & Applications

    3.1 Nutraceutical Uses

    • Mitochondrial Protection: Reduces oxidative stress by scavenging hydroxyl radicals (IC₅₀: 2.5 μM) and superoxide anions .
    • Telomere Support: Delays age-related telomere shortening in vitro .
    • Dosage: Clinical studies suggest 5–20 mg/day elevates plasma ERT levels significantly .

    Recommended Products:

    • Capsules: 100 μg–5 mg per serving (e.g., LifeExtension’s Essential Youth) .
    • Synergistic Blends: Combines with ferulic acid for enhanced bioavailability .

    3.2 Cosmeceutical Uses

    • Anti-Aging: Inhibits tyrosinase (40% reduction at 0.5% concentration) and protects elastin from UV degradation .
    • Formulation Guidelines:
      • pH: 4.0–6.0 (optimal stability)
      • Concentration: 0.5–2.0% in serums/lotions
      • Compatibility: Stable with vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and peptides .
