🧬 Longevity Peptides
Peptides targeting biological aging — telomere length, mitochondrial function, NAD metabolism.
7 peptides in our database tagged for longevity.
Epitalon
C+A synthetic tetrapeptide that reportedly upregulates telomerase activity. Russian longevity studies suggest mortality reductions but Western RCTs are absent.
Dose: 5–10 mg daily for 10–20 days, cycled (subcutaneous)
MOTS-c
BA 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide that improves insulin sensitivity and exercise capacity in animal models. Among the most promising 'mitokines' for metabolic aging.
Dose: 5–10 mg, 2–3 times weekly (subcutaneous)
SS-31
B+A cell-permeable tetrapeptide that targets cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Investigated for primary mitochondrial myopathy, heart failure, and dry age-related macular degeneration.
Dose: Trial range: 40 mg subcutaneous daily
5-Amino-1MQ
C+A small-molecule NNMT inhibitor that has produced fat loss and improved muscle stem-cell function in obese rodents. No human RCTs yet.
Dose: 50–150 mg orally daily (research-only)
Pinealon
CA short tripeptide developed in Russia for cognitive aging and oxidative stress. Limited Western clinical evidence.
Dose: 5–10 mg daily for 10–20 days (subcutaneous, cycled)
Humanin
BA 24-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide with cytoprotective effects across Alzheimer's, diabetes, and atherosclerosis preclinical models. Endogenous levels decline sharply with age.
Dose: Research range: 0.5–1 mg subcutaneous (rare clinical use)
Glutathione (GSH)
BTechnically a tripeptide (γ-glutamyl-cysteinyl-glycine) and the body's primary antioxidant. Often grouped with peptide therapy in IV/compounded form for liver support and oxidative stress.
Dose: 200–600 mg sublingual / 600–2400 mg IV (compounded)
