Bloomage, a company developing hyaluronic acid and bioactive ingredients, has earned US GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) status for its MitoEGT ingredient.

This mitochondrial anti-ageing ingredient is now recognised as a safe, reliable and effective health ingredient for a range of food products.  

MitoEGT is Bloomage’s L-Ergothioneine mitochondrial antioxidant, developed using advanced microbial fermentation technology. Bloomage said that this method ensures high purity, stability, and environmental sustainability.

As an antioxidant, MitoEGT is designed to penetrate cells and mitochondria to support cellular protection and health. Also known as the longevity vitamin, it promotes skin health, cognitive function, and cardiovascular well-being.

With its self-affirmed US GRAS status, MitoEGT is certified for up to 60 mg per serving in food products.

Bloomage nutrition and health raw materials division General Manager Liu Wei said: “These certifications once again exemplify Bloomage’s leadership in the health and nutrition sector.

“The recent certifications for MitoEGT and MITOENGPQQ demonstrate our ability to develop scientifically validated ingredients that meet stringent global regulatory standards.

“As consumer interest in mitochondrial health and anti-ageing continues to grow, we are expanding our presence in international markets and deliver quality products that enhance everyone’s lives.”

The efficacy of MitoEGT is backed by extensive research. A study by Bloomage demonstrated its ability to enhance cognitive function by reducing mitochondrial damage and neuroinflammation in an ageing model.

In addition to the MitoEGT ingredient, Bloomage’s MITOENGPQQ has received substantial equivalence certification as a new food ingredient in China, supporting NAD+ conversion for enhanced cellular longevity.

Both MitoEGT and MITOENGPQQ are key components of Bloomage’s Mito Plan, designed to enhance mitochondrial health at the cellular level.    

This initiative combines the benefits of MitoEGT and MITOENGPQQ to support mitochondrial function, anti-ageing, and overall health.  

The Mito Plan supports Bloomage’s dedication to developing advanced cellular solutions for wellness.

Bloomage has been engaged in the research, development, production, and sale of hyaluronic acid and other bioactive substances for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and functional foods industries.

The company serves over 4,000 customers across 70+ countries.
