CJC-1295

PerformanceInvestigational

CJC-1295 is a synthetic analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) with a Drug Affinity Complex (DAC) that extends its half-life. It was developed to increase GH and IGF-1 secretion while maintaining the natural pulsatile release pattern. Research focuses on its effects on body composition, recovery, and sleep quality.

Epitalon

LongevityResearch Compound

Epitalon (Epithalon or Epithalone) is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) based on epithalamin, a naturally occurring peptide produced by the pineal gland. Research by Professor Vladimir Khavinson focuses on its potential to activate telomerase, regulate melatonin production, and modulate biological aging processes.

GHK-Cu

SkinResearch Compound

GHK-Cu (copper peptide GHK-Cu, or glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper(II)) is a naturally occurring copper complex of the tripeptide GHK. It was first identified in human plasma and has been studied for its role in collagen synthesis, skin remodeling, wound healing, and potential gene expression modulation related to aging.

MOTS-c

LongevityResearch Compound

MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA Type-C) is a mitochondrial-derived peptide consisting of 16 amino acids. It was discovered in 2015 and has been described as an exercise mimetic due to its effects on metabolic regulation, insulin sensitivity, and physical performance.

NAD+

LongevityResearch Compound

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in all living cells. It is essential for cellular energy production, DNA repair, gene expression regulation, and calcium signaling. NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, and research focuses on restoring levels through supplementation with NAD+ precursors (NMN, NR) or direct IV administration.

SS-31

LongevityInvestigational

SS-31 (also known as Elamipretide or Bendavia) is a mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide (D-Arg-dimethylTyr-Lys-Phe-NH2). It selectively concentrates in the inner mitochondrial membrane and has been studied for mitochondrial dysfunction, aging, and various age-related conditions. It is currently in clinical trials for multiple indications.
