Saul Posted April 18, 2021 Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 Hi Mike! If you have a good diet, you'll have a helthy gut microbiome -- and in particular you'll likely have this metabolite of Lactobacillus reuteri. -- Saul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lustgarten Posted April 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 Hey Saul, I hope that's true, but there aren't any published studies (yet) linking people with higher gut levels of L. reuteri with higher circulating levels of ergothioneine.

Saul Posted April 18, 2021 Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 Hi Mike! A good diet and exercise are a lot more important than a supplement. Also, IMO, best to avoid trusting -- or even watching -- someone's "miracle" video. --- Saul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lustgarten Posted April 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 I would never promote supplements over whole foods, that's not the point of the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
