Epitalon
Compoundable (Rx)Anti-Aging Peptides
Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) based on epithalamin, a peptide produced by the pineal gland. It is one of the most studied ant...
GHK-Cu
Compoundable (Rx)Anti-Aging Peptides
GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper complex) is a naturally occurring tripeptide-copper complex found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. It dec...
FOXO4-DRI
Research OnlyAnti-Aging Peptides
FOXO4-DRI is a senolytic peptide that selectively induces apoptosis (programmed cell death) in senescent cells — damaged cells that accumulate with ag...
SS-31
In Clinical TrialsMitochondrial Peptides
SS-31 (elamipretide) is a mitochondria-targeted peptide that concentrates 1000-fold in the inner mitochondrial membrane. It protects mitochondrial fun...
Humanin
Research OnlyMitochondrial Peptides
Humanin is a 24-amino acid mitochondria-derived peptide (MDP) that plays protective roles against Alzheimer's disease, cardiovascular disease, and age...
MOTS-c
Compoundable (Rx)Metabolic Peptides
MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the 12S rRNA gene. It functions as an exercise mimetic, activating AMPK pathways similar to p...
