Why Should I Supplement With Essential Youth L-Ergothioneine?

In today's world, you don't have to be young to be youthful. With regular exercise and the proper nutrition you can fight against aging head on. And to help you on your quest, we created Essential Youth L-Ergothioneine. 

Longevity and telomere support

Ergothioneine has been shown to delay telomere shortening due to oxidative stress. Why would you want to delay telomeres from shortening? Your telomeres are like protective caps at the end of your chromosomes. As time goes by, these telomeres shorten naturally, in step with your aging process. In a preclinical study, L-ergothioneine had a protective effect on telomere length and slowed the rate of telomere shortening under oxidative stress conditions.

Brain and vision health

Low levels of ergothioneine in older adults have been linked with cognitive decline. In preclinical studies, ergothioneine showed beneficial neuroprotective properties from oxidative stress, supporting overall cognitive health.

The cell-protecting properties of ergothioneine have also been linked to vision health.

So are you ready to fight back against aging? Defy your age with Essential Youth L-Ergothioneine from Life Extension.

Beautiful gold, bigger than anticipated
Color: Warm Gold, Color: Warm Gold
This is very pretty and matched my gold fixtures well. It is a heavy piece. I was a little surprised because I anticipated it being smaller, however it’s rather substantial. I don’t mind the look and did keep item. Everyone in the family noticed, and I live in a house of boys so that’s saying a lot.

So sour! So yummy!
Size: 1 Pound
I loved these as a kid, so I bought some for my kids to try. They are just as sour and yummy as ever! If you've never had them, you can think of them as sort of a sweet tart kind of candy, but WAY more sour!
