According to a study from Atlanta’s Emory University, Psilocin, a by-product of psilocybin (an active component in magic mushroom) upped human skin and lung cell life span by 50%. Psychedelic mushrooms are know for mental health benefits. This study opens a new chapter of how psilocybin could influence systemic ageing processes, particularly when administered later in life.
Fascinating findings from Emory University suggest psilocin may extend cellular lifespan and improve resilience, hinting at effects beyond mental health.
If confirmed, this opens an exciting path for psilocybin research in systemic ageing and late-life interventions.
