Why Whole Foods Work Better Than Supplements

New information may show that mushrooms appear to work through a combination of compounds, not just psilocybin. Several compounds in mushrooms were able to reach the brain as strong, or stronger than psilocybin.

What is the "Entourage Effect?"

The term was coined by two Israeli scientists in 1998 to describe multiple compounds working together to create a broader effect than any one compound can accomplish alone. We see this effect in everyday life. Here are a few examples:

🍊 Eating an orange gives you vitamin C, fiber, flavonoids, carotenoids, organic acids, and polysaccharides that are more beneficial than taking a Vitamin C supplement alone. Whole foods tend to be more effective than isolated supplements.

☕ If you drink coffee, it is caffeine plus polyphenols, ferulic acid, diterpenes and minerals that contribute to coffee's role in promoting long-term health, not just the caffeine.

What Comes Next?

This study was based on advanced computer modeling. Next, these findings will be tested in lab grown models of human brain tissue to compare how synthetic mushrooms and whole mushrooms affect the brain at a genetic level.

Why This Matters

Most current clinical research uses a synthetic form of psilocin, 4-AcO-DMT, the active form of psilocybin. The synthetic form is highly purified and can be precisely dosed. But, is it as effective as the whole plant?
