Compound Profiles

Humanin

Mitochondria-Derived Peptide | HN

Humanin exerts its effects through multiple mechanisms. It interacts with cell surface receptors including FPRL1 and CNTFR, activating PI3K/AKT signaling pathways that promote cell survival.

SS-31

Mitochondrial-Targeted Peptide | Cardiolipin Protector

Selectively binds to cardiolipin in inner mitochondrial membrane, preventing lipid peroxidation and optimizing electron transport chain function. This improves ATP production and reduces oxidative damage at the mitochondrial level.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I take Humanin with SS-31?

Yes, Humanin and SS-31 can generally be taken together. Both target mitochondrial function; may have additive benefits for cellular health.

Is Humanin and SS-31 safe together?

Based on documented research, this combination is considered synergistic. However, shared safety flags include: teratogenic. Monitor accordingly.

What are the interactions between Humanin and SS-31?

Both target mitochondrial function; may have additive benefits for cellular health. This assessment has 95% confidence and is based on documented research data.

How should I time Humanin and SS-31?

Humanin has a half-life of ~30 minutes (mice), >4 hours (rats) and SS-31 has a half-life of ~2 hours. No specific timing requirements identified for this combination, but separating administration can help monitor individual effects.

This interaction analysis is compiled from research literature and pharmacological mechanism data. Always consult a healthcare professional before combining compounds.

What's the dose range for cognitive enhancement versus being too much?

The cognitive 'sweet spot' is 0.5-2 mg/kg body weight (roughly 35-140 mg for a 70 kg person). Doses above 2 mg/kg often shift from antioxidant to pro-oxidant effects, becoming counterproduc…

Research context

Research Indications

GLORY-2 demonstrated 20.1% weight loss with 9mg over 60 weeks; 48.7% achieved ≥20% reduction. Significant reductions in waist circumference, systolic BP (-7.57 mmHg), triglycerides (-43%). Exploratory analysis showed 80.2% reduction in liver fat, suggesting MASLD/MASH benefits. HbA1c reductions of 1.41-2.03% across trials; DREAMS-3 showed -2.03% vs semaglutide -1.84%. 48% achieved HbA1c <7.0% AND ≥10% weight loss versus 21% with semaglutide. Systolic reduction of -7.57 mmHg, diastolic -2.98 mmHg in clinical trials. Total cholesterol -16.82%, triglycerides -43.29%, LDL -17.07%.

Research Indications

Used off-label at 0.5mg daily for male pattern hair loss. Clinical trials demonstrate superior efficacy compared to finasteride, with greater increases in target area hair count attributed to dual 5-alpha reductase inhibition and more complete DHT suppression. Strong evidence for regrowth at the vertex region, where DHT-sensitive follicles are most concentrated. The greater DHT suppression achieved by dutasteride may provide additional benefit over finasteride in this area. Effective at slowing frontal hairline recession and improving mid-scalp density. Some evidence suggests dutasteride's dual inhibition provides a modest advantage over finasteride for frontal hair loss, though results vary between individuals. Some men who do not respond adequately to finasteride may benefit from switching to dutasteride, as the additional Type I inhibition provides more complete DHT suppression. Not all finasteride non-responders will respond to dutasteride. FDA-approved at 0.5mg daily for the treatment of symptomatic BPH. Reduces prostate volume by approximately 25% and improves urinary symptoms and flow rate over 6-12 months of treatment. Consistently reduces prostate volume more effectively than finasteride due to dual isoform inhibition, with reductions of 25-30% documented in long-term clinical trials.

Dosage reference

Dosing Protocols

Liothyronine is administered orally as tablets, which is the standard and essentially only route used outside of emergency clinical settings. Oral bioavailability is approximately 95%, making it highly effective by mouth. Tablets are available in 5 mcg, 25 mcg, and 50 mcg strengths. The short half-life (~24 hours) means that split dosing throughout the day can provide more stable blood levels, though once-daily dosing is common for replacement therapy. Thyroid Replacement - Standard 25-75 mcg/day Once daily or split into 2-3 doses Oral Thyroid Replacement - Conservative Start 5-25 mcg/day Once daily Fat Loss - Moderate 25-50 mcg/day Split into 2 doses (AM and early PM) Fat Loss - Aggressive (Contest Prep) 50-75 mcg/day Split into 2-3 doses T4/T3 Combination Therapy 5-15 mcg/day (added to T4) Once daily or split into 2 doses
