Humanin Dosing Protocol: Mitochondrial Peptide Guide
Also known as: Mitochondrial-derived peptide
What is a Peptide?
A short chain of amino acids (2-50) linked by peptide bonds. Smaller than proteins. Your body produces thousands of peptides naturally as signaling molecules that regulate everything from appetite to healing. Therapeutic peptides mimic or enhance these natural signals.

Overview
Humanin is a 24-amino acid mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) that plays a protective role against Alzheimer's disease and cellular stress. It represents a new class of mitochondria-signaling molecules.
Mechanisms of Action
- Binds IGFBP-3 and IGFBP-1 inhibiting apoptosis
- Activates formyl peptide receptor-like 1 (FPRL1)
- Protects neurons from amyloid-beta toxicity
- Improves mitochondrial function and ATP production
