#mushroom extract

A wide, editorial-style flat lay photographed from above on a pale warm-gray linen surface in soft natural window light. At the center, a small open amber glass jar tips gently onto its side, spilling a few cream-colored capsules across the fabric. Next to the jar sits a loose arrangement of fresh mushrooms: a cluster of golden-tan reishi with glossy, lacquered caps, a few slender white enoki stems, a halved shiitake showing its pale gills, and a curl of turkey tail with concentric bands of rust, cream, and charcoal. A small wooden scoop holds a pile of fine beige mushroom powder.

On the left third of the frame, a matte black sports watch with a minimal face lies beside a folded sage-green running shirt and a pair of lightweight off-white running shoes, hinting at athletic training without showing a person. A slim white notebook with a single pencil rests nearby, open to a blank page with a faint hand-drawn line graph trending upward, in thin graphite strokes.

On the right side, a pair of clear glass beakers and a single small petri dish with a soft amber-tinted liquid add a subtle laboratory note, kept calm and organic. A single sprig of dried herbs and a few scattered oat-colored grains add texture.

The palette is earthy and refined: oatmeal, soft sage, terracotta, warm amber, and charcoal accents against the muted neutral background. Shadows are soft and diffused, with a gentle highlight on the glass and the glossy reishi cap. The composition leaves generous negative space in the upper right for a headline overlay. Shallow depth of field blurs the edges slightly, while the central mushrooms and capsules stay crisp. The overall feel is modern, clean, and trendy, like a wellness and science magazine cover, with tactile natural textures, minimal styling, and a quiet sense of curiosity and skepticism.

Una cápsula de setas aumentó el VO2max un 14,8 % — pero hay un gran problema

BY DR. GYMBRO ·

Una cápsula de setas, 40 días y un aumento del 14,8 % en VO2max suena casi demasiado bueno para ser verdad. En este nuevo artículo de *Antioxidants* 50 jóvenes deportistas masculinos que tomaron 320 mg/día de un extracto multisetas rico en beta‑glucanos pasaron de 46,26 a 53,12 mL/kg/min. El gran problema es que el estudio careció de grupo placebo, no hubo aleatorización ni cegamiento, y los atletas siguieron entrenando durante el ensayo. Los experimentos celulares en cardiomiocitos de rata añaden una pista relacionada con la hipoxia, pero se probaron compuestos individuales, no la cápsula completa. Aquí analizamos lo que el estudio encontró, lo que no puede demostrar y a quién conviene ser escéptico.
