Anti-Aging Peptides

Targets aging-related mechanisms

Primary Use

Peptides (12)

NAD+

Longevity & Cellular Health

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a critical coenzyme found in every living cell. It is essential for mitochondrial function, DNA repair, and cellular energy metabolism. Levels decline with age, and supplementation is researched for anti-aging and metabolic health.

CJC-1295 (Modified GRF 1-29)

Growth Hormone / IGF-1 Axis

CJC-1295 is a synthetic GHRH (Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone) analog with extended duration due to Drug Affinity Complex technology. Studied for its effects on growth hormone release and body composition.

Sermorelin

Growth Hormone / IGF-1 Axis

Sermorelin is a synthetic 29-amino acid analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). It was FDA-approved for pediatric growth hormone deficiency and is widely used off-label for anti-aging and body composition optimization.

Epitalon (Epithalon)

Longevity & Cellular Health

Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) studied primarily in Russia. Research focuses on telomerase activation, pineal gland function, and potential anti-aging mechanisms.

Ipamorelin

Growth Hormone / IGF-1 Axis

Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone secretagogue developed by Novo Nordisk. It stimulates GH release without significantly affecting cortisol or prolactin levels. Has been studied in clinical trials for postoperative recovery.

SS-31 (Elamipretide)

Longevity & Cellular Health

SS-31 (Elamipretide) is a mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide that concentrates in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Being developed for mitochondrial diseases, heart failure, and age-related conditions.

Humanin

Longevity & Cellular Health

Humanin is a 24-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded in the 16S rRNA gene. Discovered for its ability to protect neurons from amyloid-beta toxicity. Research explores its roles in neuroprotection, metabolic regulation, and cellular stress resistance.

GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide)

Skin, Hair & Aesthetics

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring tripeptide-copper complex found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. Studied primarily for wound healing, skin regeneration, and anti-aging applications. Available in topical formulations.

GHK (Tripeptide)

Injury, Repair & Recovery

GHK (Gly-His-Lys) is a naturally occurring tripeptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine whose levels decline with age. Distinct from its copper-bound form (GHK-Cu), free GHK is researched for its ability to modulate gene expression patterns associated with tissue repair, anti-inflammation, and regeneration.

Thymalin

Immune & Inflammation

Thymalin is a polypeptide complex originally extracted from calf thymus glands, developed in Russia. Research focuses on immune restoration, anti-aging effects, and thymic function recovery, particularly in elderly and immunocompromised subjects.

Pinealon

Cognition, Mood & Neuroprotection

Pinealon is a synthetic tripeptide bioregulator (Glu-Asp-Arg) developed in Russia, targeting pineal gland and central nervous system function. Research focuses on sleep regulation, neuroprotection, and cognitive function in aging subjects.

Cortagen

Cognition, Mood & Neuroprotection

Cortagen is a synthetic tetrapeptide bioregulator (Ala-Glu-Asp-Pro) developed at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology. Research focuses on normalizing cerebral cortex function, cognitive enhancement in aging, and neuroprotection.
