Literally, it might prolong your life.

“There was overwhelming clinical evidence that it has benefits for multiple disease indications,” said lead researcher Dr. Louise Hecker in an interview with StudyFinds. “But very little was known about how it affects the body outside the brain.”

What is Psilocybin?

Psilocin-treated human lung cells outlived untreated ones by up to 57% in laboratory experiments. They remained healthy, continued to divide, and grew older more slowly. The substance seemed to shield telomeres, the protective coverings on chromosomes that deteriorate gradually with age, and lessen oxidative stress. Additionally, it raised SIRT1 levels, a protein linked to DNA repair and cellular lifespan.

The mice then appeared. Researchers administered monthly dosages of psilocybin to female mice that were 19 months old, which is the age of a human being in their 60s. Eighty percent of
