Anti-Ageing & Longevity

Anti-Aging & Longevity

Anti-aging peptides are compounds studied for the biological pathways associated with cellular ageing — energy production, mitochondrial function, oxidative damage, tissue structure and hormonal signalling. This is the broadest category in the Purist range because longevity research is multifactorial: no single pathway accounts for ageing, so six compounds cover five distinct mechanisms.

Mechanisms

The five mechanisms studied in longevity research

Cellular energy declines with age as NAD+ availability falls, which is why NAD+ is central to the category and studied at 25–100 mg, 3–5× weekly. Mitochondrial signalling is addressed by MOTS-C, investigated for AMPK activation and mitochondrial biogenesis — the pathway most consistently linked to longevity endpoints in the literature. Oxidative damage is addressed by Glutathione, the body's principal endogenous antioxidant. Structural ageing — collagen loss, matrix degradation — is addressed by GHK-Cu. Hormonal decline is addressed by CJC-1295 w DAC through sustained growth-hormone and IGF-1 signalling.

Study design

Why longevity protocols run long and low

Unlike acute-injury models, longevity research favours extended, lower-dose protocols: typically 6–12 weeks with maintenance phases continuing afterwards, on the reasoning that the pathways involved are chronic rather than episodic. GHK-Cu is a notable exception in that it requires no cycling at all. Because the compounds here address non-overlapping mechanisms, they are the most frequently combined group in the range.

Questions

Anti-Ageing research FAQ

Which anti-aging peptide should be studied first?

NAD+ and MOTS-C form the standard entry pairing because they address cellular energy and mitochondrial signalling — the foundational pathways. GHK-Cu is added when structural or skin ageing is also an endpoint.

What is the difference between NAD+ and MOTS-C?

NAD+ is a coenzyme required for energy metabolism and DNA repair, and its availability declines with age. MOTS-C is a mitochondrial-derived peptide that signals through AMPK to influence how cells regulate energy. One supplies a substrate; the other modulates the pathway.

Do these compounds stop ageing?

No such claim is made. They are studied for specific biological pathways associated with ageing — energy, mitochondrial function, oxidative damage, tissue structure and hormonal signalling. Ageing research is multifactorial and no compound addresses it wholesale.

How long do longevity protocols run?

Longer than most categories. Typical cycles run 6–12 weeks with ongoing lower-dose maintenance, reflecting the chronic nature of the pathways. GHK-Cu is the exception and is commonly run continuously for 3–6 months without cycling.

Can these be combined?

This is the most commonly combined group in the range, precisely because each compound addresses a different mechanism with minimal overlap. The Longevity Stack pairs three of them in one protocol.
