Longevity

5-Amino-1MQ A synthetic small molecule studied as an inhibitor of NNMT, an enzyme implicated in obesity and metabolic dysregulation, with additional research in aged muscle regeneration. View research notes → Cartalax Cartalax is a synthetic tripeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp) developed by Russian gerontology researchers. In vitro studies have examined its effects on cellular aging markers across several tissue types. View research notes → CJC-1295 (with DAC) + Ipamorelin Two peptides that target different points in the growth hormone axis are frequently studied in combination. This page covers what the research actually shows for each. View research notes → Epithalon Epithalon is the most-studied synthetic tetrapeptide in longevity research. The evidence centers on telomere biology and pineal gland function. Here is what the published literature actually shows. View research notes → FOXO4-DRI FOXO4-DRI is a synthetic senolytic peptide designed to disrupt the FOXO4-p53 interaction that keeps senescent (aged, damaged) cells alive. Research spans senescent-cell clearance, tissue aging, and longevity, almost entirely in animal and cell models. View research notes → GHK-Cu GHK-Cu is one of the most-studied peptides in skin aging and collagen research. Here is what the published evidence actually looks like. View research notes → GHK-Cu + Epithalon: Anti-Aging Research GHK-Cu and Epithalon address two distinct layers of the aging process. GHK-Cu has one of the largest in vitro evidence bases in skin and collagen research. Epithalon has been studied for telomere elongation and longevity at the cellular level. This page covers what the research actually shows for each compound and what they cost per milligram. View research notes → GHRP-6 The original growth hormone releasing peptide, developed in 1984. Researchers studying the GH axis often compare GHRP-6 with its successors as a reference compound. View research notes → Glutathione Glutathione is the body's primary intracellular antioxidant — a tripeptide it manufactures itself. Levels decline with age and chronic disease, and research has examined whether supplementation can reverse that decline. View research notes → MOTS-c A peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA, studied as a regulator of metabolic homeostasis and an exercise mimetic with potential relevance to aging and insulin sensitivity. View research notes → NAD+ One of the most-studied molecules in longevity science. NAD+ is a coenzyme rather than a peptide, but is widely tracked alongside research peptides for its role in aging, cellular repair, and metabolic function. View research notes → Sermorelin Sermorelin is a synthetic fragment of growth hormone-releasing hormone studied for its ability to stimulate endogenous GH secretion. Researchers have examined its use in growth hormone deficiency, body composition, and age-related hormonal decline. View research notes → SS-31 (Elamipretide) SS-31, also known as elamipretide or MTP-131, is a mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide that homes to the inner mitochondrial membrane and stabilizes cardiolipin. Research spans cardiac aging, hypertensive cardiomyopathy, and skeletal muscle decline. View research notes → Thymosin Alpha-1 Thymosin Alpha-1 is a naturally occurring thymic peptide studied for immune modulation, antiviral activity, and age-related immune decline. Researchers have examined it in chronic viral infections, cancer immunotherapy, and restoring T-cell function. View research notes →
