Description
Longgu, fossilized bone, has calmed anxious and sleepless patients in Chinese medicine for centuries. Sun Xiujia and co-authors review a modern explanation: its metal ions work as a team. They gather chemical analyses, studies of single ions, and clinical trials of formulas containing the mineral.
Calcium and magnesium steady neuron firing. Zinc tunes neurotransmission and supports a growth factor tied to brain plasticity. Zinc and manganese together help run the gut-brain axis. Trials show the formulas ease depression, anxiety, and insomnia, especially combined, and boost standard antidepressants. The 2026 review offers Longgu as a model for multi-target psychiatric drug design.
