Research peptides for longevity & anti-aging

More about research peptides for longevity & anti-aging

This category holds the peptides studied in research into ageing, cellular function and mitochondrial processes. The range approaches ageing from two angles: telomere maintenance and mitochondrial function.

Epithalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide derived from epithalamin, an extract of the pineal gland. Preclinical research describes it in relation to telomerase activity — the enzyme involved in maintaining the telomeres at the ends of chromosomes.

MOTS-c and SS-31 approach ageing from the mitochondria. MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide associated in research with metabolic signalling pathways; SS-31 targets the inner mitochondrial membrane specifically. Both compounds also appear in other categories, since their research domains overlap.

SNAP-8 is included here for the cosmetic angle on ageing research; the dermatological context is described under skin, hair & cosmetics.

Research into these compounds sits predominantly at the preclinical stage. Considerably less clinical material is available than for, say, the incretin analogues.

Worth noting: several of these compounds also appear in another category. This is a research domain that overlaps with metabolic and dermatological research rather than standing apart from it.

All products ship as a lyophilised powder and must be reconstituted before use. See the complete reconstitution guide.
