Humanin
Humanin (HNG)
A 21-amino acid mitochondrial-derived peptide, one of the most actively studied longevity compounds in academic medicine. Produced by your mitochondria and levels decline sharply with age. Studied for neuroprotection, metabolic health, and cellular survival.
Growing evidence. Some early human studies
Neuroprotection
Studied for protecting neurons from apoptosis, oxidative stress, and the amyloid-beta accumulation associated with Alzheimer's disease. Among the most researched neuroprotective peptides in longevity science.
Metabolic Health
Studied for improving insulin sensitivity and reducing the metabolic decline associated with aging. Research in elderly populations shows an inverse correlation between Humanin levels and metabolic disease markers.
Cellular Protection & Longevity
Studied as a systemic cytoprotectant, a compound that helps cells survive metabolic stress. Animal research consistently shows lifespan extension with Humanin supplementation.
