Humanin

Humanin is a mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) that acts as a cytoprotector, shielding cells from various forms of stress and programmed cell death (apoptosis).

Mitochondrial Sentinel

Humanin is one of the key signals our mitochondria use to communicate health status to the cell nucleus. Research indicates it can protect neurons from the toxicity associated with Alzheimer’s disease and help prevent the loss of cardiovascular cells under stress.

Metabolic Ally

Humanin has also shown the ability to improve glucose handling and insulin sensitivity in research models. As a compound and signaling molecule, it is a primary focus for studies investigating why some individuals age more “successfully” than others.
