Standard Labs sells research peptides exclusively to qualified researchers and laboratories for in vitro and laboratory use. Please confirm before continuing.
By proceeding you affirm the statements above are true. Products are not for human or veterinary use, not for use in diagnostic procedures, and have not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Eighteen compounds are discussed for aging, cell stress and tissue repair. This guide keeps the model attached: cells in a dish, worms, mice or people — and whether the study could measure lifespan at all.
Telomeres, senescent cells and immune signals are read the same way. Study type comes before the benefit, dose records are marked unverified, and no compound is graded. No dosing advice.
Not a ranking and not a protocol. Every profile runs the same questions, so two compounds can be read side by side without one getting a better edit than the other.
A lab test can show a change in one cell. An animal study can show a change in a mouse or a worm. A human study can track a biomarker — but only a study that follows people for years can speak to lifespan.
Worms made to produce more humanin lived an average of 19.0 days versus 17.7 days. A related form changed some health measures in mice without a clear gain in lifespan. Epithalon lengthened telomeres in human cells grown in dishes.
No study cited in the guide shows that any of these compounds makes people live longer. Forms and routes differ, human safety data are thin, and a change in a lab measure is not the same result as a longer life.
Plus: an 18-name index, six biology questions, a page on reading longevity research, a plain-language glossary and the sources behind every profile.
The guide groups research questions rather than ranking compounds. The grouping is a reading aid — not an evidence score, not a treatment category, and not a statement that any of them is safe for human use.
Humanin · MOTS-C · FOXO4-DRI
Thymosin Beta-4 · BPC-157
Epithalon · TA-65
Thymosin Alpha-1 · Thymulin · Thymomodulin · Thymopentin
GHK-Cu · Melanotan II · Oxytocin
GDF-11 · IGF-1 · Melatonin · BDNF
The groups overlap. A compound can sit in more than one research question, and the guide says so rather than forcing one label.
This one keeps the model attached. A telomere in a dish is not a longer life; a mouse result is not a human one. The guide says which model the study used, what it measured, and where the answer stops. A lab measure is not a lifespan.
You have seen a compound described as “anti-aging” and want to know whether the result came from a dish, a worm, a mouse or a person — and whether the study measured lifespan at all.
You want a protocol, a dose or a promise. The guide does not tell you what to use, and it does not claim that any compound here extends human life.

Open the peptide calculatorAdults reading about aging research who want the evidence and the limits in the same place. No lab background is assumed. It is not a clinical manual, a protocol, or a review of Canadian approval status.
Yes. The PDF is free. We ask for your email so we can send it, confirm your consent and follow up with a short series on reading a longevity claim. You can unsubscribe at any time.
No. The guide is educational material for research. It does not tell you what to take, and it does not replace a licensed healthcare provider. Products referenced are supplied for laboratory research use only.
No study cited in the guide shows that. The results described are changes in cells, worms or mice, or changes in a human biomarker. A biomarker is not the same as years of life, and the guide says so in every profile.
A telomere is a cap at the end of a DNA strand. A change in telomere length in cells grown in a dish is a lab result; it does not establish that a person will live longer or stay healthy longer.
No. Where a trial assigned doses, those are printed as study groups, not recommendations. Amounts reported in forums are marked unverified. No compound is graded strong, moderate or weak.
Because they arrived without a study, a test group, a date or a named author. Reprinting a number is not the same as validating it, so every number is printed with its status attached.
A reading map, six biology questions, an 18-name index, 18 compound profiles, a page on reading longevity research, a plain-language glossary and the sources behind each profile.
Some of them are in the Canadian research catalogue. The guide is not a ranking of what we stock, and a catalogue listing does not validate any claim about a compound.
No. We do not sell or share your email with third parties. The form stores your name, email, interest and consent record so we can honour your preferences. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe.
