Humanin
Preclinicalaka HN
Mitochondrial peptide studied for cell protection and metabolic health. Longevity research, not a product.
Mechanism
Encoded inside mitochondrial DNA. In preclinical models it protects cells, blocks apoptosis, and helps metabolism, which is exactly the stuff the longevity field gets excited about.
Regulatory & Safety Status
Early research, not approved, human data very limited. This one is still a lab compound, not something to run.
