The Biology of Ageing

The Biology of Ageing

Ageing isn’t just about time — it’s about cellular stress, metabolic damage, and declining repair mechanisms. Core drivers of biological ageing include:

  • Mitochondrial dysfunction – reduced energy, increased oxidative leakage
  • Chronic inflammation – known as “inflammaging”
  • Oxidative stress – DNA and protein damage from reactive oxygen species (ROS)
  • Telomere shortening – DNA degradation over time
  • Neurodegeneration & synaptic loss

Functional mushrooms modulate all five processes through:

  • Antioxidants
  • Adaptogens
  • Neurotrophins
  • Immunomodulators

⚙️ Bioactive Compounds for Anti-Aging Synergy

Every compound we use has a story backed by thousands of years of tradition and now modern scientific research. Begin your journey by exploring each adaptogen’s unique biological activity and role in human health.

Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus)

Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus)

Key Actions:

  • Promotes NGF (nerve growth factor) and potentially BDNF
  • Supports cognitive longevity by preserving neuroplasticity
  • May prevent or delay age-associated cognitive decline

Clinical Relevance:

Lion’s Mane has shown promise in neurodegenerative prevention and brain ageing. Early studies suggest it may delay or reduce progression of mild cognitive impairment in older adults

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum)

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum)

Key Actions:

  • Modulates inflammatory cytokines, helping prevent inflammaging
  • Balances the immune system to reduce overactivation
  • Improves sleep cycles and parasympathetic tone, essential for regenerative repair

Clinical Relevance: Reishi is widely used in longevity medicine to support immune modulationorgan detox, and restorative sleep — all key elements in anti-ageing practice.

Cordyceps (Cordyceps militaris/sinensis)

Cordyceps (Cordyceps militaris/sinensis)

Key Actions:

  • Enhances ATP production at the mitochondrial level
  • Promotes oxygen utilisation, improving stamina and recovery
  • May increase telomerase activity, which helps preserve telomere length

Clinical Relevance: Known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as a vitality tonic, Cordyceps is used to support healthy ageing, energy, and libido in older adults. It’s a foundational mushroom in performance-longevity protocols.

Chaga (Inonotus obliquus)

Chaga (Inonotus obliquus)

Key Actions:

  • Exceptionally high in superoxide dismutase (SOD) and melanin, both powerful antioxidants
  • Supports cellular protection from oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation
  • May reduce DNA mutation rates by neutralising free radicals

Clinical Relevance: Often used in anti-ageing regimens for its high ORAC value, Chaga is especially beneficial for those concerned with skin ageing, cardiovascular health, and long-term inflammation.

How Mushrooms Support Longevity

Antioxidant defence

Mushroom Compounds- Melanin, polyphenols, SOD

Functional Outcome- Protects DNA, reduces ROS burden

Immune balance

Mushroom Compounds- Beta-glucans, triterpenes

Functional Outcome- Prevents inflammaging, supports immune age resilience

Neuroprotection

Mushroom Compounds- Hericenones, erinacines

Functional Outcome- Supports cognition + neuronal longevity

Mitochondrial support

Mushroom Compounds- Cordycepin, adenosine analogs

Functional Outcome- Enhances energy efficiency + ATP regeneration

Molecular Pathways of Ageing

  • Chaga and Reishi activate the Nrf2 antioxidant pathway, defending against DNA oxidative damage
  • Cordyceps supports AMPK activation and telomerase expression, helping cells recover from metabolic stress
  • Lion’s Mane influences the BDNF and NGF pathways, critical for preserving neural capacity with age

Together, they work on the hallmarks of ageing — inflammation, mitochondrial decline, oxidative damage, and loss of cellular communication.

Practitioner’s Insight

“The best anti-ageing protocols don’t just slow decline — they enhance resilience. Functional mushrooms are some of the only tools we have that work on immunity, energy metabolism, cognition, and inflammation all at once.”
