[@besanit]

Increasing respiratory rate artificially may have negative consequences, the vulcano plot clearly shows that there are severl metabolites that increase and decrease with exercise, all these metabolites change with exercise for a reason. So just supplementing ergothioneine may cause more harm than good. I would wait for a long-term study before considering this as a supplement.

[@EnkiduShamesh]

I completely agree. This is one study that hasn't been peer reviewed, let alone replicated. One of my concerns is that if we increase mitochondrial respiration, we will also be increasing the production of free-radical species. We are only just scratching the surface here.

[@dsweedler]

Many supermarkets sell a 3 or 4 oz box of Oyster Mushrooms for 3 bucks to 4 bucks. Oyster Mushrooms are one of the highest grade source of ergothioneine and some strains of Pleurotus ostreatus (yellow oyster mushroom) can hit 11,000 mg / Kg or 11 mg / gram of wet uncooked mushroom. So a one ounce serving of common yellow oyster mushroom (28g) could be as much as 300 mg of ergothioneine for one buck for each days serving per person. Even if your oyster mushroom has the lower limit of only 1100 mg / Kg ergo, it is still a 30 mg serving per ounce of mushroom uncooked. Compare that to the claimed 5mg supplements sold on Amazon right now. I think the strain improvement of oyster mushrooms or the media they are grown on has just started and these little tasty guys may become a superfood dietary choice.

[@noosphericaltarzan]

@@thepatternforms859 Recovery? Your mitochondria are going to recover by the next day. That's not what you are recovering from after a workout day in running (higher intensity). You have all of these waste products from burning glycogen in your fuel mix. Go to threshold and muscles are going to require at least another day to recover fully. That has nothing to do with mitochondria, though. You can go out next day to do a base run. Mitochondria still work fine as you stick around mainly in your aerobic system. The products are marketed as mitochondrial boosters -- and I saw no improvement over what I normally would have seen from training. Furthermore, I have discovered the chemical breaks down after about four weeks. The bottle I bought has an expiration date like four years from now.

Hmm... digging deeper on MPST: Dietary Supplements: While specific chemicals directly enhancing MPST production are less documented, supplements that support mitochondrial health, such as Coenzyme Q10 and alpha-lipoic acid, might have an indirect positive effect. Sulfur-Containing Compounds: Since MPST is involved in sulfur metabolism, dietary intake of sulfur-containing amino acids like cysteine and methionine might support its activity. (This is interesting because NAC is part of the GlyNAC duo that has been highlighted in another study for improving the hallmarks of aging.)

[@alexanderishere1857]

"uses more oxygen" is not alone a sign that it improves mito function. It could be, but it could also be that it stresses the mito, and it needs to work harder for the same outcomes. Too much guessing and assuming

[@mbmurphy777]

Yes, that was my initial thought as well, but the mouse improvements suggest that energy production is increased along with the oxygen consumption

[@EnkiduShamesh]

@@mbmurphy777 Which likely also means more free-radical production, assuming that this non-peer reviewed study is successfully replicated (most initial positive studies fail on replication).

I’ve been getting daily ergothioneine in the form of beef kidney. It’s done wonders for my hormones, hair/skin/nails and overall happiness levels.

Going on an animal based diet drastically reduced my need for most supplements, but when i do take them i love the food based ones such ans organs. They’re much easier to assimilate and breakdown for people with vulnerable digestive systems.

While watching someone speak about how little known and studied the results are at the moment, i had recalled that there was a seemingly rare type of red fluorescent fluorite (due to elemental impurities and it's interaction with uv light); it was said to be found in two places, Mapami and another place i can't recall but feel free to ask and I'll check my saved research. Point is that I'm sure there are metal substrate flashlights and I'm assuming that any small electrical signal to the cell could prompt just enough of this light to elicit this response, maybe sent through the crystalline structure of some element. The ATP increase was 16 fold

OK, so if ergothioneine increases, that suggests either (1) exercising mice eat more ergothioneine containing foods or (2) they biosynthesise more ergothioneine.

Anywho. Ordered some 25mg capsules that'll be here Wednesday🤷‍♀️😂

[@Nonsanity]

As with all supplements - and everything else, for that matter - it all comes down to situation-specific dose. Too little and too much are both bad, and higher or lower levels of something can cause other mechanisms in the body to shift to counteract the change, over time. Evolution has tuned biology well. Increasing the speed of one part of an engine without doing the same to all the other meshing parts is not going to result in better performance. Odds are, like so many other single button changes, it’s not going to be what the public thinks it is. Instead, it’s science learning another part of the puzzle by pushing and pulling at another small piece to see how it fits.
