Best peptides for longevity

Targeting senescent cells, mitochondrial function, telomere maintenance, and cellular resilience. The list below is ranked by strength of evidence, strongest first. Each entry links to a full profile with mechanism, dosing, and primary-source citations.

Ranking reflects the quality of available research, not a clinical recommendation. This is educational content, not medical advice.
