I mention earlier that a substance in most mushrooms, Ergothioneine, does much the same thing as MitoQ. The thing is that Ergothioneine is a unique amino acid you can basically only find in mushrooms and your body cant make it. Of note: Almost every cell in our bodies has a conserved ion channel that only takes in Ergothioneine to the place in a mitochondria it is most needed.
Sadly, you cant find supplements with Ergothioneine. So eat your mushrooms!
These prices are cheap if they give you a longer, healthier life. With my lock, the medicine thar stops aging will come out when Im 85. Im not all that sure Id be excited about it if it came out now.
Thanks for the laugh.

Not me!
I meant post #21 for you, not me.
Heart attacks used to be the #1 cause of death. Now, with all the wonderful supplements, we can live long enough to get Alzheimers.
Ping.
Kinda expensive.
By the way which mushrooms.
I should have read further down.
Thanks
this “article” was basically taken for an advertisement for this product ...
btw, here’s published scientific study that says MitoQ actually damages the kidneys:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5880956/
We found shiitake, maitake, oyster, porcini, and a few others had varying amounts of a similar substance and went went changing our diets to eating mushrooms whenever possible
........
I regularly drink reishi, lions mane and chaga tea. plus I take a couple mushroom pill supplements that with the same combination plus cordiceps.
Is there a place where we can go to see which mushrooms have the greatest combinations of similiar acting substances?
I found that ergotheinine, found in certain mushrooms, does about the same thing, but the mitochondria has a way to regenerate that antioxidant molecule for up to a month, while this only lasts a day or two before it needs to be replaced in the mitochondria. Still, it appears to work.
This paragraph is not quiet clear to me. Is this the proper interpretation of that paragarph:
I found that ergotheinine, found in certain mushrooms, does about the same thing, but the mitochondria has a way to regenerate the ergotheinine molecule for up to a month, while MitoQ only lasts a day or two before it needs to be replaced in the mitochondria. Still, it appears to work.
You can buy ergotheinine at swanson’s. why not just do that—rather than buy mushrooms? seems cheaper.
Btw did you find any positive results?
Yes, I intended to say MitoQ lasts two days and Ergothioneine lasts nearly a month.
Can you provide a link at Swansons Vitamins for Ergothioneine? This one I list below is from Amazon and its $90.

Thanks!
We did well with the MitoQ for that time and we continue to eat mushrooms a lot.
Neither of us can point to any negatives, but we cant say some ailment seemed cured, either. On paper, it all makes sense. We have a good amount of energy and are happy.
I can say we gave MitoQ with PQQ, nicotinamide riboside and other useful supplements to a relative with a 2 inch tumor on a CT scan and in the course of the 1.5 months to the actual surgery, his tumor disappeared on the CT scan by the day before surgery. So, the doctors flipped out and couldnt understand what had happened. They wound up doing multiple tests and found nothing. In fact, he had serious liver disease on top of the liver tumor, and that has been largely repaired.
ok
