Longevity & Cellular Health

The science of healthy aging.

A clear look at peptides being studied for mitochondrial function, cellular signaling, and age-related biology—with the evidence limits kept visible.

Investigational

Epitalon

A synthetic tetrapeptide studied in aging-related research. Human safety information remains limited, and it is not FDA-approved.

Investigational

MOTS-c

A mitochondrial-derived peptide studied for metabolic and cellular signaling. FDA reports no identified human exposure data for compounded products; it is not FDA-approved.

Limited approved use exists

SS-31 (Elamipretide)

An FDA-approved elamipretide medicine exists only for improving muscle strength in eligible people with Barth syndrome. Other uses or preparations are not FDA-approved.

Preclinical research

FOXO4-DRI

An experimental peptide studied in cellular-senescence models. Evidence is preclinical, and it is not FDA-approved.
