Dr. Solomon Snyder, Department of Neuroscience, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine recently published an article entitled The Unusual Amino Acid L-Ergothioneine Is a Physiologic Cytoprotectant. (Cell Death and Differentiation (2009), 1-7; www.nature/cdd) Dr. Snyder makes the following statement: Because of its dietary origin and the toxicity associated with its depletion, ET (ERGO) may represent a new vitamin whose physiologic role includes antioxidant cytoprotection.

The acquisition of the ERGO transporter license is further evidence of the role of Total Nutraceutical Solutions (TNS) as a global leader in the research and development of mushrooms and their contained potent antioxidants and bionutrients, stated Marvin S. Hausman MD, CEO, TNS. ERGO may finally be recognized as a new important vitamin with a key role in protecting human cells and tissues against the ravages of many diseases. TNS has positioned itself as a global leader in the research and development of natural organic whole food dietary supplements, with increased concentrations of needed antioxidants such as ERGO and Vitamin D. The company has also taken on the mission to educate people with the concept of proper whole food nutrition based on Prevention, Not Intervention.
