What studies have looked at
Each point says who or what was studied and what the study reported, with its source and the date we checked it. These are findings from the sources cited, not advice or a promise of any result.
- In animals or the lab
The 2001 study that identified humanin found that it prevented the death of cultured neuronal cells caused by several familial Alzheimer's disease genes and by amyloid-beta.
Source: PMID 11371646, checked 1 Nov 2026
- In animals or the lab
In lab studies, humanin bound the cell-death protein Bax and stopped it moving to mitochondria, suppressing cell death. The mitochondrial genome carries an identical reading frame, and that version also suppressed Bax.

- In animals or the lab
In mice with triple-negative breast tumours, humanin reduced tumour cell death and sped up tumour growth and the spread of tumours to the lungs.

How to track it in Peptimes
Add humanin in My Protocols and set the schedule you already follow: days of the week, times of day and a start date. Peptimes never suggests an amount when you log or schedule a dose. Its Library entry shows the status label “Not FDA-Approved”. It is a separate Library entry from Humanin G.
- Routes: the app lets you record whichever route you used; none is established. Its routes are subcutaneous, intramuscular, oral, sublingual, nasal, topical and Other.
- Logging: the amount you took, the route and how you feel.
- Injection sites: subcutaneous and intramuscular doses record the site, and Insights shows where you’ve injected and how recently. It never suggests where to inject next. Other routes skip this step.
- Reminders and history: reminders at your times, Dose History, the Calendar and CSV or JSON export work as described on the peptide tracker app page.
Peptimes is a tracking app, not medical advice. Talk to a licensed clinician about your treatment. Peptimes doesn’t sell humanin or any other compound.
