Peptides studied for aging and longevity
Lifespan, old cells, biological age and tumors in aging animals. 8 peptides, each with what researchers tested, its proof grade and its dose range.
"Studied for" means what researchers tested. It does not mean it works, or that it is safe or right for anyone. Check the proof grade: many of these were only tested in animals.
EpithalonEpitalon, AEDGAging and tumors. In mice and rats it lowered tumor rates. From the same Russian group as the bioregulators.Common use: 2 mg to 15 mg per doseFOXO4-DRIFOXO4 D-Retro-Inverso, FOXO4-DRI peptideClearing old, worn-out cells. In old mice, fitness, fur and kidney function came back.Common use: 250 mcg to 3 mg per doseHumaninHN, S14G-humanin, HNGProtecting cells under stress. Rat studies on the heart after a heart attack and on brain cells.Common use: 1 mg to 3 mg per doseMOTS-cMetabolism and exercise capacity. In mice it prevented weight gain on a fatty diet and improved running in old mice.Common use: 5 mg per doseNAD+Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotideCell energy and aging. Small human studies on how it moves through the body. Not a peptide.Common use: 20 mg to 100 mg per doseLivagenKEDA, Lys-Glu-Asp-AlaThe liver and gut. In old rats it moved gut and liver cell activity toward young levels. No human trials.Common use: 1 mg to 5 mg per doseSS-31ElamipretideMitochondria (the cell's energy makers). Human trials in heart failure and mitochondrial muscle disease.Common use: 5 mg to 40 mg per doseVilonKE, Lys-GluThe immune system and aging. Longer life in mice, and added to diabetes care in Russian human studies.Common use: 100 mcg to 10 mg per dose
