In this short video, the speaker introduces ergothioneine, a trace amino acid found in mushrooms, as a unique antioxidant that may be classified as a new vitamin—the first such addition in decades. The speaker highlights compelling research showing that humans possess a dedicated transporter and storage system for ergothioneine, underscoring its physiological importance. Despite its significance, the nutrient is largely unknown to the public. The speaker notes that effective supplementation requires only a very low daily dose (approximately 5–20 mg) and claims that ergothioneine can protect and support mitochondrial health.
