Psilocybin extended the lifespan of human cells by over 50% in a groundbreaking aging study.

Researchers at Emory University and Baylor College of Medicine found that psilocin, the active metabolite of psilocybin found in psychedelic mushrooms, extended the lifespan of human skin cells by 51% and lung cells by up to 57%.

The compound also delayed cellular aging, reduced oxidative stress, and helped preserve telomeres, which protect chromosomes.

In a separate experiment, aged mice receiving psilocybin showed 80% survival compared with 50% in untreated controls, suggesting promising potential for future anti-aging therapies.
