6.6/ 10

Ergothioneine is a mushroom-derived amino-acid antioxidant with a dedicated human transporter (OCTN1/SLC22A4) and striking blood-level epidemiology: in the Malmo Diet and Cancer cohort (n=3,236, median 21.4 years), each 1 SD higher plasma level tracked with 21% lower cardiovascular mortality (Smith 2020). Human interventional trials remain small and early, so it scores 6.6/10. Read the full breakdown →
