Humanin acts like a cellular “bodyguard.”
It helps protect cells—especially brain, muscle, and heart cells—from stress, toxins, and dysfunction.
This is one reason it’s being studied in aging and neurodegenerative conditions.
Since it comes from the mitochondria (your cells’ energy factories), Humanin helps them:
Function better
Resist damage
Produce energy more efficiently
Poor mitochondrial function is tied to fatigue, aging, inflammation, and chronic disease—so this is a big deal.
Humanin has been shown in studies to help protect neurons from:
Oxidative stress
Amyloid proteins (involved in Alzheimer’s)
Cellular death pathways
This is why researchers consider it a potential anti-Alzheimer’s and cognitive support peptide.
Humanin can reduce inflammation and block certain cell-death signals.
In simple terms: it helps stop cells from dying prematurely.
There’s evidence Humanin may help the body use insulin more efficiently, possibly supporting:
Better glucose regulation
Metabolic health
Some studies note lower Humanin levels in people with metabolic syndrome.
Levels of Humanin naturally decrease with age, and higher Humanin levels are linked with:
Longer lifespan in animal studies
Reduced age-related decline
Stronger stress resilience
It’s sometimes called a “pro-longevity peptide.”
Protects cells from damage
Supports brain function & memory
Enhances mitochondrial performance
Reduces inflammation
May help metabolic health and insulin sensitivity
Anti-aging / longevity effects
