Humanin

Humanin is a naturally occurring mitochondrial peptide composed of 24 amino acids. It was first discovered for its protective effects against cellular stress and apoptosis (cell death), particularly in neural and metabolic systems.

In research settings, Humanin is studied for its potential influence on:

• Cellular longevity and anti-aging pathways
• Neuroprotection (brain and nerve cell support)
• Metabolic regulation and insulin sensitivity
• Protection against oxidative stress
• Mitochondrial function enhancement

Because of its biological activity, Humanin is considered an important peptide in aging and longevity research. However, it is strictly a research-use compound and not approved for human consumption or medical treatment.
