Mitochondria Matters

Mitochondria Matters

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) extract slowed visible skin aging by protecting mitochondrial function in UVA-damaged mice. It reduced oxidative stress, preserved membrane integrity, and stabilized mitochondrial numbers, all crucial for cellular energy and longevity. Researchers traced these effects to reishi’s rich triterpenoid content, highlighting its potential in both skincare and anti-aging wellness.
