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.

O capsulă cu ciuperci a crescut VO2max cu 14,8 % — dar există un obstacol major

BY DR. GYMBRO ·

O capsulă cu ciuperci, 40 de zile de suplimentare și o creștere de 14,8 % a VO2max pare prea bună pentru a fi adevărată. Într-un studiu publicat în *Antioxidants*, 50 de sportivi tineri de sex masculin, care au luat 320 mg/zi de un extract multi‑ciuperci bogat în beta‑glucan, au trecut de la 46,26 la 53,12 mL·kg⁻¹·min⁻¹. Principala problemă este absența unui grup de control, a randomizării și a dublului orb, iar sportivii și-au păstrat regimul de antrenament în timpul studiului. Experimentele celulare pe celule cardiace de șoarece adaugă o perspectivă legată de hipoxie, dar au testat substanțe izolate, nu capsula. Iată ce a arătat studiul, ce nu poate demonstra și cine ar trebui să rămână sceptic.
