How It's Made

​

Ergo Health produces ergothioneine through a green, eco-friendly, biosynthetic fermentation method. This fermentation process uses no toxic chemical and produces no byproducts harmful to the environment.

By engineering bacteria to produce ergothioneine as part of their natural life cycle, we can use large-scale, low-cost, fermentation methods (similar to the process for fermenting alcohol) to generate multi-kilogram quantities of ergothioneine. Purification occurs via a simple one step process.

1.) Write instructions in the

     language of DNA code

2.) Insert these instructions

         into bacterial DNA

These instructions tell bacteria how to produce ergothioneine as part of their normal life cylce

3.) Grow the bacteria

     (i.e., fermentation)

4.) Harvest and purify

        ergothioneine

The bacteria produce ergothioneine as a byproduct of their growth
