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 modulation, organ 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.”
