THE CELLULAR GUARDIAN
Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide (MDP)
Humanin is a tiny peptide encoded in your mitochondrial DNA that protects cells from death. It was discovered in Alzheimer's research and found to protect neurons, heart cells, and other tissues from damage. Your humanin levels drop by about 30% by age 40, making supplementation attractive for anti-aging.
