Eat mushrooms, preferably not normal button mushrooms, several times a week. Button mushrooms can have as little as 1/20 the amount of oyster mushrooms.
There are supplements now available, if mushrooms aren’t your thing.
Every cell in our body has an ion channel specifically for ergothioneine. It is transported into a specific location within mitochondria, where free radicals are made a nutrients are turned into energy for the cell. It is very specially needed, as our mitochondria have a built-in process to renew/regenerate ergothioneine to make it survive up to three to four weeks, in that location.
Some gut bacteria can make small amounts of it.
It serves as a backup antioxidant to glutathione and superoxide dismutase, as well, in some functions. These are antioxidants we make, at least when we are young. When we age, we then have to supplement glycine, cysteine, and taurine, to create them, according to recent studies I’ve posted here on Free Republic.

Eat mushrooms, preferably not normal button mushrooms, several times a week. Or you could eat lots of Black Beans.
Of course that could cost you friends and make you the butt of jokes.

My dog and I were taking Turkey Tail religiously (pup for cancer, I after reading how beneficial TT is), but there were so many types that it became overwhelming so I quit my purchases after pup died.

Curious, I wonder about micro-dosing something like mushroom to stimulate the neural paths—sort of like a roto-rooter for the brain to clear out the debris. I know that work has been done with micro dosing, especially for vets suffering PSTD with good results, but as for forestalling dementia, etc has there been similar work done?

Thank you. This has been known for a long time. Residents near mushroom plants in Japan have a 50% reduction in Cancer rates from their mushroom consumption. Eat a mushroom a day, even on is enough.

Lion’s Mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus) very noticeably improves my recall ability, over several years of trials and different products. But I have found some products to be much more potent than others. The better ones seem to have both mycelium and fruit body extracts. Haven’t yet looked to see how LM fits into the categories of mushrooms listed in the article.

Your excerpt mentions white button mushrooms as a good source. Are they different from button mushrooms?

Look in your local health food store for ‘Stamets 7’. I had Hep C and they dropped my viral load by 50% in a month. My doctor didn’t want to discuss it.

They are the same. White button mushrooms have little of the good stuff.
