- Thymalin
- Thymic restoration, T-cell maturation
- Immune senescence, SASP reduction
- Phase II: 34% increase CD4+ T-cells, 22% reduction SASP markers (12 weeks, Immunity & Ageing 2021)
- 10mg subcutaneous, twice weekly
- Most overlooked driver of premature aging. Immune dysfunction precedes visible tissue damage by years
- Epithalon
- Telomerase activation, chromosomal repair
- Telomere shortening, replicative senescence
- 33% increase mean telomere length, 42% extension of Hayflick limit (St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation)
- 10mg subcutaneous, 10-day cycles every 6 months
- Only peptide with direct evidence of reversing cellular aging clock. Mechanistically distinct from all cosmetic interventions
- GHK-Cu
- Collagen synthesis, senescent cell clearance
- Dermal matrix degradation, fibroblast senescence
- 18% increase dermal thickness, 32% reduction MMP-1 (Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology 2022)
- 3mM topical or 2mg subcutaneous daily
- Dual action. Stimulates collagen production while clearing cells that degrade it; rare combination in one molecule
