Conquer Aging: Why does Ergothioneine decline during aging?
Peer-Reviewed Research
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.
