Longevity & Wellness
Peptides commonly researched in aging biology, mitochondrial function, telomere maintenance, and broad wellness outcomes.
Longevity claims are notoriously hard to validate in humans. Treat early-phase data accordingly.
GHK-Cu
Limited Human EvidenceA naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide widely used in cosmetics and studied for skin remodeling and wound healing.
NAD+
Limited Human EvidenceA central coenzyme in energy metabolism that has been studied as a supplement and IV therapy for aging, fatigue, and metabolic health.
MOTS-c
ExperimentalA mitochondrial-encoded peptide studied for its role in metabolism, exercise capacity, and mitochondrial signaling.
Epitalon
ExperimentalA four-amino-acid peptide studied primarily in Russian and Eastern European research for longevity, sleep, and antioxidant effects.
Thymosin Alpha-1
Moderate Human EvidenceA 28-amino-acid immunomodulatory peptide approved in many countries (as Zadaxin) for hepatitis B and as an adjunct in cancer and infection.
5-Amino-1MQ
Animal / LabA small-molecule NNMT inhibitor studied in obese mice for reducing fat mass and raising cellular NAD+ and SAM levels.
SS-31
Limited Human EvidenceA mitochondria-targeting tetrapeptide (elamipretide) that binds cardiolipin on the inner mitochondrial membrane; it has been tested in multiple human trials and gained FDA accelerated approval for the ultra-rare Barth syndrome in 2025, though several other primary endpoints were not met.
CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin
ExperimentalA popular research-peptide stack pairing the GHRH analog CJC-1295 (no-DAC / Mod GRF 1-29) with the selective secretagogue ipamorelin, intended to amplify natural growth-hormone release. No human trials exist on the combination itself.
