About the Metabolism & longevity category

Explore research on metabolism, mitochondria, ageing and related peptides without treating an interesting mechanism as a demonstrated health outcome.

From mechanism to measurement

Topics may examine cellular pathways, metabolic markers, animal studies, clinical research or the interpretation of long-term outcomes. Name the substance, study model and measured endpoint. A change in a laboratory marker is not the same observation as improved function, longer life or a clinical benefit.

Start with the myPeptides monographs for MOTS-c and SS-31, or browse the register for other compounds. Check the dates and follow the primary references relevant to your question.

Make comparisons useful

Explain whether compared studies examined similar populations, conditions and time periods. Identify exploratory findings and distinguish a hypothesis from a result that has been replicated. If you are discussing a blend or a stack, list the components and separate evidence about each substance from evidence about the combination.

Personal observations are welcome when presented as observations. Describe the timeline and concurrent changes, and avoid turning one person’s account into a general promise about ageing or longevity.
