Route only. This library does not publish doses or protocols.
02 / Mechanism
How it is thought to work
Mitochondrial peptide that blocks cell-death signals and improves insulin sensitivity
Mechanisms seen in cells or animals do not always happen the same way in people.
03 / Potential benefits
What people use it for
Cell protection, brain and metabolic health
Animal or no human data
No meaningful human data. Effects and safety in people are unknown, which is not the same as safe.
Listed uses are what people use it for, not proven outcomes.
04 / Known risks
Side effects and risks
Unknown in humans
Risk level 3 of 10
Lower risk score: reported side effects are mostly mild. Low risk is not no risk, especially for unregulated products.
Unknown long-term effects count as a risk, not as a clean record.
05 / Regulatory
Regulatory status
- Status
- Not approved
- Details
- Not approved
- Sport (WADA)
- Yes: S0 (unapproved substance)
Status reflects information up to mid-2026 and changes over time. Check current sources.
06 / Evidence quality
How good is the evidence?
07 / Notes and sources
Notes and sources
- Animal only means effects and safety in humans are unknown, not that they are proven safe.
- Products sold online as research peptides are unregulated. Tests of such products often find wrong amounts, impurities or a different compound.
- Anyone using compounds like this regularly should have medical supervision and bloodwork (for example IGF-1, glucose and HbA1c, hormones, lipids).
- Source: Peptide Reference Table, an editorial review of published research up to mid-2026. Scores are 1 to 10 editorial estimates, not measured values. Regulatory and WADA status change over time.
