Mushroom species that can extend life and health have been revealed 03:22

An international group of scientists from Germany, England, Serbia and other countries discovered that ergothioneine, a substance found in mushrooms, increases life expectancy. The study was published in the scientific journal magazine Cell Metabolism (CellMetab).

Ergothioneine is found in oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and some other types of mushrooms.

The team studied many animal species, including the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans, or nematode. It turns out that exposure to ergothioneine not only allows worms to live longer, but also increases their mobility, resistance to stress and resistance to age-related changes.

Another group of researchers observed similar positive changes in mammals using rats. For three weeks, the scientists gave the rodents about 10 milligrams of ergothioneine per day.
The endurance of the experimental animals increased, muscle mass increased, and new blood vessels formed in the muscles.

According to experts, ergothioneine protects cells against oxidative stress through the persulfidation process. Decreased persulfidation is associated with aging, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative diseases.

The team’s next step will be to test ergothioneine in humans.
