Humanin

Anti-Aging

View Profile →

A mitochondria-derived peptide discovered for its neuroprotective effects against Alzheimer's-related toxicity. Being studied for aging and metabolic benefits.

Similar Peptides

Glutathione

Anti-Aging

The body's master antioxidant - a tripeptide composed of glutamate, cysteine, and glycine. Found in every cell at concentrations similar to glucose (5mM). Essential for detoxification, immune function, and cellular protection against oxidative stress.

DSIP

Anti-Aging

A neuropeptide that promotes deep delta wave sleep. First isolated from rabbit brains in 1977. Used for sleep optimization and stress reduction.

NAD+ Precursors

Anti-Aging

While not peptides, NAD+ precursors are frequently discussed alongside peptides in longevity circles. They boost cellular NAD+ levels, supporting energy metabolism and sirtuin activity.

SS-31

Anti-Aging

A mitochondria-targeted peptide that improves cellular energy production. Being developed for heart failure and mitochondrial diseases.

GHRP-6

Growth Hormone

One of the first synthetic GH secretagogues developed. Strongly stimulates GH release and significantly increases appetite through ghrelin receptor activation.

5-Amino-1MQ

Weight Loss

A selective NNMT (nicotinamide N-methyltransferase) inhibitor that enhances cellular energy metabolism. Not a peptide but a small molecule research compound commonly used alongside peptides for fat loss and metabolic support.
