EGT-Max™ is a high concentration of 0.3% Ergothioneine. Research has shown that Ergothioneine is a naturally occurring amino-acid derived from the mushroom Coprinus Comatus and is highly effective in its antioxidant properties.
The concentration of 0.3% is an extra high concentration compared to general products on the market which have Ergothioneine concentrations in the range of only 0.01-0.1% (mostly at 0.013% or equal to 130mg/Litre).
The research-researched benefits of Ergothioneine (ET) include:
Antioxidant properties: ET has been found to have antioxidant properties, which means it can help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals.
Anti-inflammatory properties: ET also has anti-inflammatory properties, which means it can help reduce redness and inflammation in the skin.
UV Protection: ET has been found to have the ability to protect the skin from UV rays, which can help prevent sun damage.
Moisturizing effect: ET has a moisturizing effect which can help keep the skin moisturized and soft.
Anti-aging effects: ET has been found to have anti-aging properties that can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Brightening Effect: ET has been found to have a brightening effect, which can help improve the overall appearance of the skin by reducing dark spots and uneven skin tone.
