Description

Li Tao and co-authors test whether an extract of the reishi mushroom can revive cell power plants in aging skin and speed wound healing, in a 2026 paper. The team worked with aged human skin cells in dishes and with wounded animals.

The extract proved safe across a wide dose range. Mid and high doses lifted the life signs of aged cells. The high dose raised the charge across the power plant walls while cutting their harmful oxygen waste. A gel with the extract, spread on wounds, sped closure, raised fuel levels in the tissue, and cut waste there too. The authors credit better power plant function for the gains.
