Mitochondrial health supports energy metabolism.
About Metabolic Health
Improvement of metabolic markers including blood sugar, insulin sensitivity, and lipid profiles.
Research Evidence
Research shows protection against amyloid-beta toxicity in Alzheimer's models. Studies demonstrate improved insulin sensitivity, reduced atherosclerosis in animal models, and potential anti-aging effects. Human studies are limited.
Dosing for Metabolic Health
Recommended Dose
Under investigation
Frequency
2-3x weekly (e.g., Monday, Wednesday, Friday)
Administration
Injection (route varies)
Duration
Variable
Note: Subcutaneous injection to abdomen or thigh. Cycle 2-4 weeks on, 2-4 weeks off. Often stacked with MOTS-c and NAD+ for mitochondrial support. Store lyophilized at 0-5°C; reconstituted solution stable 5 days at 4°C or freeze for longer storage.
What to Expect

Other Peptides for Metabolic Health
These peptides are also researched for metabolic health.
FOXO4-DRI
PreclinicalA senolytic peptide designed to selectively eliminate senescent 'zombie' cells by disrupting the FOXO4-p53 interaction. Shows promise for restoring tissue function in aging, including kidney health restoration.
Vesilute
PreclinicalA synthetic dipeptide (Glu-Asp) bioregulator from the Khavinson peptide family, studied for urinary tract and prostate support. Research suggests it may help with bladder function and prostate microcirculation. Part of the tissue-specific bioregulatory compounds developed over 40+ years of research.
Glutathione
Clinical TrialsThe 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
Clinical TrialsA neuropeptide that promotes deep delta wave sleep. First isolated from rabbit brains in 1977. Used for sleep optimization and stress reduction.
