🍄 are medicine!!!
Researchers have discovered that psilocybin, the psychoactive compound in “magic mushrooms,” may extend the lifespan of human cells by over 50%. This unexpected result comes from a 2025 study that tested psilocybin’s effects on skin and lung cells. Scientists found that treated cells showed slower aging, improved repair mechanisms, and resistance to stress damage.
This finding adds to a growing body of evidence that psilocybin and related compounds could have anti-aging and regenerative properties, far beyond their current reputation as mental health therapies. Already being studied for depression, anxiety, and PTSD, psilocybin could also become part of longevity science, potentially leading to new treatments that delay age-related decline.
If validated in human trials, this breakthrough could mean psilocybin isn’t just about altering perception—it could reshape medicine itself. From anti-aging supplements to regenerative therapies, nature’s “magic” molecule may be hiding the keys to both mental health and extended lifespan.
