Studies show how Amanita Muscaria can help promote long term brain health

  • A recent study explored how Amanita muscaria mushroom extract affects human brain immune cells, known as microglia. Findings suggest that it may enhance the microglia's ability to produce certain proteins involved in the body's defense mechanisms. This suggests potential benefits in supporting the brain's natural immune responses, which could be helpful in managing conditions associated with brain inflammation. These insights open exciting avenues for further research into the role of Amanita muscaria in promoting long term brain health.
