Humanin Dosage Chart & Schedule
A small peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA (a 'mitochondrial-derived peptide') that has been studied for cytoprotective and metabolic signaling in aging research.
Humanin is a mitochondrial-derived peptide studied for cytoprotective and metabolic signaling, almost entirely in preclinical models. There is no established human dosing, and most research uses potent analogs such as HNG (S14G) rather than native humanin.
Figures describe how Humanin is reported in the research literature and research-community references — not a recommendation for human use. For laboratory research only.
Dosage protocols
Commonly referenced research tiers. Start conservative; every compound and study context differs.
- Frequency
- Not established
- Weekly total
- Not established
- Cycle
- Not established
Native humanin is cleared rapidly, so studies typically use stable analogs such as HNG.
Preclinical / research-only
- No established human dosing; the evidence base is preclinical.
- Studies commonly use potent analogs such as HNG (the S14G variant) because native humanin is cleared quickly.
Ready to run this protocol?
Dosing is only as good as the vial. Research-grade peptides are third-party tested with published COAs from our top-rated source — reconstitute with confidence and skip the guesswork on identity and purity.
From vial to injection in 6 steps
Wipe both vial tops
Swab the peptide vial and the bacteriostatic-water vial with fresh alcohol and let them dry.
Draw the water
Pull the planned amount of bacteriostatic water (2 mL) into the syringe.
Add it slowly
Run the water down the inside wall of the vial — don't blast the powder. Swirl gently; never shake.
Let it dissolve
Wait until the solution is fully clear, then refrigerate the vial.
Draw your dose
Pull the calculated units on a U-100 insulin syringe.
Store between uses
Keep the reconstituted vial refrigerated and use within its stable window.
Handling & storage
- If a research vial is used, reconstitute with bacteriostatic water (a 5 mg vial in about 2 mL gives 2,500 mcg/mL).
- There is no validated human dose; animal studies often use intraperitoneal or subcutaneous injection dosed by body weight.
- Refrigerate the reconstituted solution and keep lyophilized material frozen.
Humanin dosing FAQ
Is there an established human dose for humanin?
No. Research is preclinical, so no validated human dosing or schedule exists.
What is actually used in studies?
Most work uses potent, more stable analogs such as HNG (S14G), often dosed by body weight in animal models.
How is humanin administered in research?
Animal studies commonly use subcutaneous or intraperitoneal injection; native humanin is cleared rapidly from circulation.
