Psilocybin at a 25 mg dose is being evaluated for its effects on relative telomerase activity and telomere length one week post-ingestion.

“We are quantifying the effects one week post 25 mg psilocybin dose, specifically measuring: + relative telomerase activity and telomere length: a recent study showed psilocybin extended telomere length in human fibroblasts in cell culture. While telomere length increases take 4-6 weeks to become detectable, we are testing for an immediate increase in telomerase activity (the enzyme that regenerates telomeres) in white blood cells.”
