EGT L-Ergothioneine Ingredient For Capsules Tablets Gummies Cas 497-30-3

Dr.Ergo® L-Ergothioneine is a high-purity functional nutrition ingredient developed for healthy-aging, mitochondrial function, energy metabolism, active-lifestyle and premium dietary supplement formulations.

With an L-Ergothioneine content of ≥99.9%, Dr.Ergo® provides B2B customers with a standardized active ingredient for the development of capsules, tablets, powders, gummies, jellies, functional beverages, coffee products and other nutrition applications.

L-Ergothioneine, commonly abbreviated as EGT, is a naturally occurring sulfur-containing amino acid derivative found in certain mushrooms and microorganisms. One of its distinguishing biological characteristics is its relationship with the ergothioneine transporter SLC22A4, commonly referred to as OCTN1 or ETT.

Research has also investigated the relationship between EGT and mitochondrial biology. A 2025 study published in Cell Metabolism reported that EGT accumulated in skeletal-muscle mitochondria following exercise training and directly interacted with 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase, or MPST.

• Mitochondrial function research
• Cellular energy metabolism
• Healthy aging
• Active-lifestyle nutrition
• Exercise and recovery concepts
• Antioxidant and cellular protection
• Daily vitality formulations

The clearly defined L-Ergothioneine content supports accurate dosage calculation, consistent formulation design and reliable finished-product development.

Ergothioneine is recognized and transported by SLC22A4/OCTN1, a transporter involved in its cellular uptake and tissue distribution.

EGT is being investigated for its relationship with mitochondrial respiration, oxidative-stress management and cellular energy metabolism.

Dr.Ergo® can be considered for healthy-aging and active-lifestyle formulations designed around mitochondrial health research, cellular energy metabolism, antioxidant support, and cellular resilience.

The controlled biofermentation process provides a standardized alternative to mushroom extraction and other natural extract materials.

The white to off-white crystalline powder can be evaluated for use in capsules, tablets, sachets, powder blends, gummies, functional jellies, coffee products, functional beverages, and ready-to-mix nutrition products.

The water-soluble profile of Dr.Ergo® allows it to be evaluated for functional beverages, coffee products, beauty drinks and ready-to-mix powder systems.

Supporting documents can assist purchasing, quality, regulatory and product-development teams during ingredient evaluation.

Dr.Ergo® may be considered for formulations built around mitochondrial function and cellular energy research.

EGT may support differentiated active-lifestyle and sports-nutrition concepts where the product narrative focuses on cellular resilience, oxidative-stress research and mitochondrial adaptation.

Mitochondrial function is an important research area within healthy-aging science. Dr.Ergo® can be incorporated into formulations positioned around healthy aging, daily vitality and cellular resilience.

• Studied for its relationship with mitochondrial function
• Investigated in cellular energy metabolism research
• Associated with the OCTN1 ergothioneine transport system
• Supported by emerging mechanistic and preclinical research
• Investigated for its interaction with the mitochondrial enzyme MPST
• Suitable for research-led healthy-aging formulations
