SS-31

SS-31 (Elamipretide): A Comprehensive Guide to Uses, Research, Dosing, Forms, and Potential Benefits

Peptide Gold0

SS-31, better known today as elamipretide, is a mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide developed to improve the function of the inner mitochondrial membrane. It is also known historically as: MTP-131 and Bendavia. Unlike many peptides that act through hormone receptors or neurotransmitter systems, SS-31 works directly at the level of the mitochondria, particularly by interacting with cardiolipin, a […]

NAD+

NAD+: A Comprehensive Guide to Uses, Research, Dosing, Forms, and Potential Benefits

Peptide Gold0

NAD+, short for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is one of the most important molecules involved in cellular energy production, metabolism, DNA repair, mitochondrial function, and cellular stress responses. Although NAD peptide is frequently grouped with peptides in longevity, wellness, and metabolic-health discussions, it is not actually a peptide. It is a naturally occurring coenzyme present in […]

MOTS-c: A Comprehensive Guide to Uses, Research, Dosing, Forms, and Potential Benefits

Peptide Gold0

MOTS-c is an experimental peptide that has generated growing interest in research involving mitochondrial function, insulin sensitivity, glucose metabolism, exercise performance, obesity, metabolic health, inflammation, and aging. What makes MOTS-c especially unusual is where it comes from. Most peptides in the body are encoded by genes located in the cell nucleus. MOTS-c is different because […]

L-Glutathione Peptide

L-Glutathione: A Comprehensive Guide to Uses, Research, Dosing, Forms, and Potential Benefits

Peptide Gold0

L-glutathione, usually shortened simply to glutathione or GSH, is one of the most important antioxidant compounds naturally produced by the human body. Unlike many experimental peptides, glutathione is not a novel laboratory molecule. It is a naturally occurring tripeptide, meaning it is composed of three amino acids: Glutamate – Cysteine – Glycine Glutathione benefits is […]

Epithalon: A Comprehensive Guide to Uses, Research, Dosing, Forms, and Potential Benefits

Peptide Gold0

Epithalon, also commonly spelled Epitalon, is an experimental peptide that has attracted attention primarily because of research involving telomeres, telomerase, cellular aging, melatonin production, circadian rhythms, and longevity. Unlike many metabolic or growth-hormone-related peptides, Epithalon is extremely small. It consists of only four amino acids: Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly or AEDG. That makes it a tetrapeptide. Epithalon was […]
