Educational, not medical advice reference for Humanin: Longevity; regulatory status, evidence posture, source review, and schedule notes. Also known as HN, M…
Reference summary
Published literature is dominated by cell-line and rodent neuroprotection and metabolic work, with small observational human correlations of circulating humanin to age and metabolic status. Direct human clinical efficacy evidence is not established.
- Categories
- Longevity
- Aliases
- HN, Mitochondrial-derived peptide, Rattin (rat analog)
- Evidence posture
- preclinical — Mostly cell-line and rodent evidence. Human data are observational correlations, not interventional efficacy.
- Regulatory status
- No FDA-approved humanin drug label. Humanin is a 24-amino-acid peptide encoded in the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene and studied primarily in preclinical neuroprotection and metabolic models.
