Hi Neighbor!
Depending on the day, I am a big fan of humanity or Iβm not. When a tsunami hits and relief funds pour in from all over the world, I think people are basically good. READ MOREβ
Be well and be kind.

Mitochondrial Enhancement Ergothioneine
When we hear the words Oxidative Stress in Functional Medicine, our ears should perk up to possibly reframe the words to mean Cellular Rusting. Just like the unsightly transformation we would normally see on metal when it rusts, our cells experience the same level of stress from pesky free radicals. These free radicals or Reactive Oxygen Species must be quelled if our mitochondria are to function optimally. Ergothioneine is one of a growing number of antioxidant nutrients that is now being used to fight off oxidative stress and mitochondrial aging.
Just like most beneficial things in our body, its levels decline with age. But before itβs too late, let us embrace its many benefits. While its primary role has focused on antioxidant action, some of its other roles include neuroprotective, anti-aging, & anti- inflammatory actions. Its long duration of action allows easy dosing once daily making it a logical add on to your current supplement regimen.
