BREAKING: Psilocybin Just Extended the Life of Human Cells by 50% in Wild New Study
Psilocybin, the psychedelic compound best known for altering consciousness, seems to also have the power to slow biological aging.
In a groundbreaking new study, researchers at Emory University and Baylor College of Medicine discovered that psilocybin extended the lifespan of human cells by over 50%.
And that's not all.
It significantly boosted survival in aging mice. Yes, they actually lived longer.
Human skin and lung fibroblasts treated with psilocinโthe active form of psilocybinโentered senescence far later than untreated cells. In mice, a monthly dose of psilocybin increased the 10-month survival rate from 50% to 80%, suggesting the compound could have profound longevity effects.
While traditionally explored for its mental health benefits, this is the first experimental evidence pointing to psilocybinโs potential as a longevity-enhancing compound.
Mice treated with it also showed fewer outward signs of aging, such as fur loss and whitening. Though more research is needed to fine-tune dosage and determine maximum lifespan impact, the study opens an entirely new frontier: psychedelics not only for mind expansion, but possibly for extending life itself.
