Key Takeaways

  • Ergothioneine declines with age, likely due to reduced intestinal absorption, not dietary intake.
  • Prioritize mushrooms (highest dietary source) or consider supplementation if absorption is impaired.
  • Monitor trimethylamine (TMAO) levels if gut health declines, as unabsorbed ergothioneine may convert to this harmful compound.

Notable Quotes

“It’s probably not a dietary intake story… potential mechanism is decreased absorption efficiency.”

Bottom Line

Increase mushroom consumption or explore ergothioneine supplements to counteract age-related decline, especially if gut health is compromised.
