Peptides for Anti-Aging & Longevity

5 peptidesUpdated July 2026
Peptides studied in the longevity field include Epithalon (telomere and circadian research), the mitochondrial-derived peptides Humanin and MOTS-c, the mitochondria-targeting SS-31, and GHK-Cu for skin and tissue remodeling.

Longevity is the area where claims most outrun the evidence. Much of this work is preclinical or comes from small, region-specific studies, so treat these as areas of active research rather than proven anti-aging therapies.

Peptides researched for this goal

Epithalon Longevity

A tetrapeptide studied for telomerase activity and aging.

Humanin Longevity

A mitochondrial-derived peptide studied for cytoprotection and aging.

MOTS-c Metabolic

A mitochondrial-derived peptide studied for metabolism and exercise.

SS-31 Mitochondrial

A mitochondria-targeting peptide studied for cellular energy and disease.

GHK-Cu Skin & Anti-Aging

A copper-binding tripeptide extensively studied in skin and hair research.

Frequently asked questions

The research is preliminary. Compounds like Epithalon and the mitochondrial-derived peptides are studied for aging-related mechanisms, but longevity benefits are not established in large human trials.

GHK-Cu is the best-studied peptide in skin research, mostly in topical/cosmetic use.
