Anti-Aging

Anti-aging peptides target the biological mechanisms of ageing — telomere length, growth hormone decline, oxidative stress, and cellular repair. Research in this area is promising but often early-stage.

Key points

Epithalon is the most studied peptide specifically for telomere extension
GH secretagogues address the natural decline in GH that accelerates with age
Most anti-aging peptide research is preclinical — human data is limited

Peptides in this category

7 peptides found

Growth hormone stimulation

CJC-1295

Moderate

CJC-1295 is a synthetic analogue of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). It stimulates the pituitary gland to release growth hormone in a pulsatile, natural pattern. Often combined with Ipamorelin for synergistic effect.

Half-life

~6–8 days (with DAC)

Route

Subcutaneous injection

Full profile

Growth hormone release, recovery

Ipamorelin

Moderate

Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone secretagogue and ghrelin receptor agonist. It stimulates growth hormone release with minimal effect on cortisol or prolactin, making it one of the cleaner GH-releasing peptides available.

Half-life

~2 hours

Route

Subcutaneous injection

Full profile

Telomere extension, longevity

Epithalon

Low–Moderate

Epithalon (Epitalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide based on the natural peptide Epithalamin, produced by the pineal gland. It has been studied primarily in Russia for its potential anti-aging effects, particularly its ability to activate telomerase.

Half-life

~1–2 hours

Route

Subcutaneous injection / Nasal spray

Full profile

Skin regeneration, wound healing, anti-aging

GHK-Cu

Moderate

GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide GHK-Cu) is a naturally occurring tripeptide-copper complex found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. It declines significantly with age and has been extensively studied for its roles in skin regeneration, wound healing, and anti-aging.

Half-life

~30 minutes

Route

Topical / Subcutaneous injection

Full profile

Cellular energy, longevity, neuroprotection

NAD+

Moderate

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every living cell, essential for energy metabolism and DNA repair. Levels decline significantly with age. Injectable NAD+ and its precursors (NMN, NR) are widely studied for anti-aging, cognitive, and metabolic benefits.

Half-life

~1–2 hours (IV); variable subcutaneous

Route

Subcutaneous injection / IV infusion / Oral (NMN/NR precursors)

Full profile

Metabolic regulation, longevity, exercise performance

MOTS-c

Low–Moderate

MOTS-c is a mitochondria-derived peptide encoded within the mitochondrial genome — making it unique among research peptides. It regulates metabolic homeostasis, improves insulin sensitivity, and has been linked to longevity in animal models. Levels decline with age.

Half-life

~1–2 hours

Route

Subcutaneous injection

Full profile

Growth hormone replacement, body composition, anti-aging

HGH 191AA (Somatropin)

High

HGH 191AA refers to recombinant human growth hormone (somatropin) — a 191 amino acid protein identical to the growth hormone naturally produced by the pituitary gland. It is a licensed medicine used for GH deficiency, muscle-wasting conditions, and short stature. It is also widely used off-label for body composition and anti-aging.

Half-life

~2–3 hours (subcutaneous)

Route

Subcutaneous injection / Intramuscular injection
