"Metabolically active cells, such as those of the liver, kidneys, muscles, and brain, have hundreds or thousands of mitochondria, making up some 40 percent of the cytoplasm. The egg cell, or oocyte, is exceptional: it passes on around 100,000 mitochondria to the next generation. In contrast, blood cells and skin cells have very few, or none at all...All in all, there are said to be 10 million billion mitochondria in an adult human, which together constitute about 10 percent of our body weight." ― Nick Lane, Author & Biochemist Mitochondria are some pretty powerful components involved in how good or bad we feel and how active or inactive we feel like being. Optimizing and getting the most out of our mitochondrial health is essential within Supervital Active Longevity. Our goal is to promote a positive outlook on life, eat optimally nutritious food, strategize strength-building exercises to build athletic/flexible bodies, and take next-level functional supplements.

ERGOTHIONEINE// The Longevity Vitamin* Ergothioneine (ERGO) is a sulfur-containing amino acid produced in nature only by fungi and a few other microbes. ERGO has entered the conversation to be considered a ‘Longevity Vitamin’ due to its cellular protective effects on biology, specifically the mitochondria. Humans cannot synthesize ERGO and must get it from the diet. The action of absorption involves a highly specific transporter (OCTN1) that handles the adsorption, distribution, and retention of ERGO within tissues. That’s pretty cool! The presence of an Ergothioneine transporter suggests that ERGO might benefit our ability to be resilient (heal, recover, regenerate, etc.) and potentially is responsible for a significant role in healthy aging. Organs and tissues that seem to accumulate ERGO in their mitochondria are the Liver, Heart, Kidneys, Red Blood Cells, Spleen, Brain, Lung, Eye, and Cerebro-Spinal Fluid. That’s quite a list!! These tissues will store ERGO for ~30 days. The ‘Longevity Vitamin’ activates in response to physiologic indicators (i.e., stress) for cellular protection. Here is a list of the concentrations of ERGO in culinary mushrooms (mg per 100g dry weight): Porcini - 181.24mg King Oyster - 54.17mg Shiitake - 35.35mg Enoki - 34.64mg Abalone - 32.47mg Portobello - 19.09mg White Button - 15.44mg Maitake - 2.02mg Additionally, mushrooms that ARE a rich dietary source of ERGO also contain significant levels of the master antioxidant, Glutathione (GSH). The concentration of GSH corresponds with the ERGO levels listed above. Porcini mushrooms lead the pack at 2.41 mg/g and so on. Ultimate wellness magic for the mind ? body ? soul ?

SUSTAINABILITY SUPERSHROOMS // Part 1 Sustainability means meeting our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. While there is no perfect, striving for sustainable business practices is a primary focus for Best Health Co. Our current line of tinctures uses one of the most, if not THE most, sustainable foods produced in the United States: Mushrooms.

SUSTAINABILITY SUPERSHROOMS // Part 2 Explicitly referring to the mushrooms we select, our focus is on ethical & sustainable sourcing. Our mushrooms are ethically and sustainably wild-harvested or cultivated from family farms in North America, made in the Pacific Northwest, USA. Sourcing locally accomplishes one significant goal, not only to support those around us but also we can avoid having to ship our raw materials from Asia, which, as you can imagine, uses an incredible amount of energy. ♻️ EcoEnclose is our shipping material manufacturer of choice. They share a commitment to Regenerative Materials Production & Sustainable Packaging. So you can be sure that everything you receive from us is recyclable and/or reusable.

SUSTAINABILITY SUPERSHROOMS // Part 3 Let's talk a bit about mushrooms and why we call them Sustainability Supershrooms! ONE POUND OF MUSHROOMS ?// ? Requires only 1.8 gallons of water - a fraction of the water inputs needed for many other foods.* ⚡️ Requires only 1.0 kilowatt-hours of energy and generates only .7 pounds of CO2 equivalent emissions during the lifecycle from planting to harvest.* ? The annual average yield of mushrooms is 7.1 pounds per square foot – meaning up to 1 million pounds of mushrooms can be produced on just one acre.* ? That's pretty amazing!!
