Humanin dosage and reconstitution
A cell-survival signal your own mitochondria make. Interesting longevity science, no human trial, and you probably will not feel it.

Staying safe
Things people sometimes notice
- Redness or a small bump where you inject
- No consistent side effects reported in animal work or community use, which also means nothing has been systematically looked for
- Mild, hard-to-pin-down energy or sleep changes in the first weeks
Stop and get help if (trouble breathing or swelling: call 911)
- Rash, hives, swelling or trouble breathing
- Any new lump, unexplained weight loss or night sweats; with an anti-cell-death peptide on board, those need a doctor before another dose
- Unusual low-blood-sugar symptoms (shaky, sweaty, confused) if you also take diabetes medicine
Talk to your doctor first, especially if
- You have any history of cancer or an unexplained mass, because humanin's whole job is keeping stressed cells alive and nobody has tested what that does near a tumor
- You take insulin or other blood-sugar-lowering medicines, since humanin touches insulin-sensitivity pathways and could make readings harder to interpret
- You are pregnant or nursing; there is no safety data at all
Mixing it
Humanin comes as a dry powder you mix with bacteriostatic water before the first use. There is no validated human protocol, so these amounts are approximate. Use the calculator for your exact vial size.
Let the vial reach room temperature and wipe both tops with an alcohol swab.
Add bacteriostatic water per your vial size, aiming it at the side of the glass.
Swirl gently until it dissolves. Do not shake.
Store in the fridge and use within a few weeks once mixed.
Keep any trial short given the lack of human safety data.
