cellular-energy and mitochondrial research, in context
This range groups compounds studied around cellular energy and mitochondrial function — a central theme in longevity and metabolic-ageing research. They split into two different research tools: a core metabolic coenzyme, and mitochondrial-signalling peptides.
Every pen is supplied for laboratory research use only, independently assayed, and shipped with a batch-specific certificate of analysis.
coenzyme vs mitochondrial peptides — the axis of comparison
- NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) — a fundamental redox coenzyme involved in energy metabolism and cellular signalling; studied as a substrate rather than a receptor ligand.
- Mitochondrial-derived / mitochondria-targeting peptides — MOTS-c (a mitochondrial-derived peptide studied in metabolic signalling) and SS-31 (elamipretide, studied for association with the inner mitochondrial membrane).
NAD+ is studied as a metabolic coenzyme; MOTS-c and SS-31 are studied as signalling and mitochondria-targeting peptides — different tools for adjacent questions.
the compounds in this range
- NAD+ — high-capacity NAD+ research pen.
- MOTS-c + SS-31 — two mitochondrial peptides combined in one research pen.
Component-level research comparisons for this class are collected on the compare page.
verifying identity and purity
Each pen ships with an independent, batch-specific certificate of analysis reporting identity and HPLC purity, so the compound — and, for the blend, each component — can be verified before any research use. See how to read a COA.
research use only
These compounds are supplied strictly for in-vitro and laboratory research. They are not medicines, are not for human or veterinary consumption, and nothing here is dosing, medical, or treatment guidance.
