Longevity & Anti-Aging Peptides in Bali

Longevity peptides in Bali research spans several distinct mechanisms, and the compounds on this page fall into different parts of it rather than one single field of study. Epitalon is studied for telomere biology. A 2003 study by Khavinson and colleagues in the Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine, part of a body of research from that Russian laboratory, reported that Epitalon increased telomerase activity and telomere length in cultured human somatic cells, a cell based finding rather than a result taken from a clinical trial.

MOTS-c is a mitochondrial derived peptide, encoded within mitochondrial DNA rather than the cell's nuclear genome. A 2015 study by Lee and colleagues in Cell Metabolism, working in mice, found that MOTS-c helped regulate metabolic homeostasis and was associated with reduced obesity and insulin resistance in that animal model. This is the founding paper for most of the MOTS-c research that followed it, and MOTS-c on this page carries a verifiable Janoshik certificate of analysis.

SS-31 and mitochondrial research

SS-31, also known as elamipretide, is studied for its effects on mitochondrial membranes, particularly cardiolipin, a lipid component of the inner mitochondrial membrane. A 2018 randomized trial by Karaa and colleagues in the journal Neurology tested elamipretide in adults with primary mitochondrial myopathy, a genuine human clinical trial rather than an animal study. In September 2025 the US Food and Drug Administration granted elamipretide accelerated approval for Barth syndrome, a rare mitochondrial disorder, as reported in a 2026 review in Drug Discoveries and Therapeutics. That approval covers Barth syndrome specifically, not the wider mitochondrial research this page describes it for.

NAD+ and cellular energy

NAD+ is studied in aging research as a coenzyme central to cellular energy metabolism and sirtuin activity. A 2023 mouse study by Zhan and colleagues in the journal Neuron reported that restoring NAD+ levels helped protect against aging related damage to the blood brain barrier, one example from a growing body of NAD+ aging research conducted mainly in animal models so far.

Handling and storage

Epitalon, MOTS-c, SS-31 and NAD+ are all supplied here as lyophilised powders and, as this page's storage guidance states, should be kept cool and in the dark before use. After reconstitution with bacteriostatic water, refrigerate and use within the compound's usual stability window rather than at room temperature. Keeping vials in their original packaging until the moment of use protects them from light exposure in the meantime.
