Understand this compound
What is Humanin?
Preclinical / animal onlya.k.a. HNA small protein made by your own mitochondria that seems to protect cells under stress. Blood levels fall with age, which is why longevity researchers track it.
Good to know: Human evidence is entirely observational; no clinical trials have tested humanin administration in people.
How does Humanin work?
The science
A 24-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded in mitochondrial DNA that exerts cytoprotective and neuroprotective effects, in part through interaction with the insulin/IGF-1 signaling pathway.
Mechanism of action from published research — how the molecule behaves, not a claim about any product or any human-use effect.
What is Humanin researched for?
Studied for neurodegenerative disease, cardiovascular protection, and lifespan regulation.
- Longevity & anti-agingStudied in aging, cellular-senescence, and mitochondrial-function research.
How far has the research gone?
Preclinical / animal research — lifespan effects shown in C. elegans and rodent models; human data are limited to observational studies correlating declining blood levels with age and disease.
Where the science stands — an approved drug is not the same as the research-grade material a vendor sells, which is unregulated regardless.
What should I check before buying?
- Independent purity. Look for a third-party COA (Janoshik or MZ) showing a measured purity — not just a number the vendor typed.
- Batch match. The strongest evidence is a certificate for the exact batch you’ll receive, attributed to this vendor — check the cross-verification on the listing.
- Vendor reputation. See how the vendor is talked about in the community before trusting a new name.
Research context only — VialGrade never gives dosing, medical, or human-use guidance.

Compare by real cost
Every Humanin listing, cheapest per mg first
Sticker prices hide the size, so listings are ranked by what a milligram actually costs — with independently tested purity where it exists. All 10 are here: the last 3 are listings whose vendor never published a strength we can read, so they have no per-mg figure to sort on.

Real $/active mg divides the price-per-mg by the measured purity — the honest cost of the actual peptide, so a 90%-pure vial isn’t compared as if it were 99%. Too cheap? flags a listing far below the market rate — often underdosing or a fake, not a deal. The crown marks the cheapest non-outlier; best value marks the lowest real cost per active mg. A vendor shown as Unavailable or Low stock is priced here but not currently buyable.
What the research says
Scientific evidence & regulatory status
What the published literature actually shows about Humanin — separate from any vendor’s marketing. Each finding links to its paper. This is education, not medical or dosing advice.
Regulatory status
No FDA-approved drug
Not FDA-approved and has no approved indication anywhere identified; a mitochondria-derived peptide that has never been given to anyone in a registered clinical trial — the studies naming it measure it as a biomarker rather than administer it.
Research-use-only — not FDA-approved
Sold “for research use only,” this compound is not FDA-approved for human use and has not been evaluated for safety, purity, or sterility in people. It is generally not a scheduled controlled substance, so buying it as a research chemical is typically not itself a drug crime — but marketing or using it as a drug is not lawful, and it is not a dietary supplement.
General information, not legal or medical advice. VialGrade sells nothing and encourages no human use.
Research notes aren’t product proof
Research summaries describe published literature and market data only. They do not establish the identity, quality, safety, or legal status of any listed physical product.
