NVTIA Ergothioneine for Healthy Aging and Skin Health

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial Evaluating the Effects of NVTIA® Ergothioneine Supplementation on Healthy Aging Biomarkers and Skin Health in Healthy Adults

Run by European Life Science Research Association · NCT07750002 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether taking NVTIA Ergothioneine daily for 12 weeks helps healthy adults age more gracefully and keeps skin looking and feeling better compared with a placebo.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Healthy adults aged 40 to 65 years who are generally healthy, have BMI 18.5–29.9 kg/m², and are willing to refrain from other antioxidant or anti-aging supplements during the study.

Probably not a fit

Individuals with significant cardiovascular, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, endocrine, neurological, or psychiatric disease, diabetes requiring medication, or inflammatory conditions may not experience benefit and may be excluded.

What this trial studies

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial will compare daily NVTIA Ergothioneine to a matching placebo for 12 weeks in healthy adults aged 40 to 65. The study will measure biomarkers of oxidative stress and healthy aging, as well as skin elasticity, skin hydration, inflammatory markers, and safety. The goal is to determine if NVTIA Ergothioneine can support aging-related biomarker profiles and skin health in a generally healthy population. Participants will be assessed through lab tests and skin measurements, with safety monitoring throughout the trial. The trial aims to provide clinical evidence for the potential benefits of a branded ergothioneine ingredient as a dietary supplement for aging and skin health.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience improvements in biomarkers related to aging and skin health, along with overall safety evidence for the supplement.

How similar studies have gone: Previous research on ergothioneine suggests antioxidant and cytoprotective effects, but high-quality randomized trials on healthy aging biomarkers are limited, making this study one of the more focused efforts in this area.
