01 / Identity

What it is

Humanin is a natural mitochondrial peptide (24 aa). Main reported uses: cell protection, brain and metabolic health. Current status: not approved.

Molecule type
Natural mitochondrial peptide (24 aa)
How it is taken
Injection (SC)
Other names
HN, HNG (S14G-humanin analog)

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

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.
