Not FDA approved
Humanin
Mitochondrial research peptide — not approved.
What it's for
Humanin is a mitochondrial-derived peptide implicated in cytoprotective signaling.
What it does for the body
Researched in neurodegeneration, metabolism, and aging models. Not an approved medicine. In plain terms: researchers may study it, but that does not make it an approved everyday medicine in the U.S.
What it targets
Proposed interactions with receptors (lock-and-key landing spots on cells) and anti-apoptotic pathways. Researchers map these ideas in cells and animals first; human proof has to clear a higher bar.
Research context
Bottom line for readers: Humanin is best treated as a research-interest topic. Early papers can be fascinating; they are not a green light for self-experimentation.
