Fast scan of longevity claims by verdict, certainty and risk.

UnprovenNot Enough Human Evidence

Does BPC-157 heal tendon and ligament injuries in humans?

No strong human evidence shows that BPC-157 heals tendon or ligament injuries. Most support is animal, cell or mechanism-based, and internet recovery claims should not be treated as proven clinical benefit.

Does TB-500 speed injury recovery?

TB-500 injury-recovery claims are not supported by strong human clinical evidence. The claim often relies on extrapolation from thymosin beta-4 biology and should be treated as unproven.

Does Semax improve cognition in healthy people?

Semax has been discussed in non-US medical and research contexts, but that does not prove it improves cognition in healthy people. Healthy-user nootropic claims remain unproven.

Does Epitalon extend human lifespan?

Epitalon is not proven to extend human lifespan. Longevity claims rely on early or indirect evidence and should not be treated as established anti-aging medicine.

Can GHK-Cu reverse skin aging?

GHK-Cu has some cosmetic and mechanistic skin-interest signals, but broad reversal claims are too strong. Topical cosmetic context is different from injectable or research-use promotion.

Does MOTS-c improve metabolism and longevity?

MOTS-c is biologically interesting, but human metabolism and longevity claims remain unproven. Do not treat mitochondrial mechanism as clinical proof.

Does rapamycin slow aging in humans?

Rapamycin has unusually strong aging-biology interest, but it is not proven to slow human aging or extend lifespan in healthy adults. Off-label longevity use remains a medical decision, not a protocol from an article.

Is acarbose a longevity drug?

Acarbose has interesting animal longevity signals, but it is not proven as a longevity drug for healthy humans.

Does NMN raise NAD+ and slow aging?

NMN may affect NAD-related biomarkers in some studies, but that does not prove it slows human aging. The stronger claim needs clinical outcomes, not only a molecule-level signal.

Is NR better than NMN?

There is no simple evidence-based winner between NR and NMN for longevity. Comparisons depend on dose form, endpoints, product quality and whether the outcome is a biomarker or a health result.

Do NAD IV drips reverse aging?

NAD IV anti-aging claims are not supported by strong evidence. Infusion marketing often uses cellular language that does not prove meaningful aging outcomes.

Does partial reprogramming reverse human aging?

Partial reprogramming is one of the most important frontier ideas in aging biology, but it has not been proven to reverse human aging.

Is OSK gene therapy available as an anti-aging treatment?

OSK gene therapy is not an available, proven anti-aging treatment for consumers. Claims suggesting current consumer age-reversal availability are misleading and high-risk.

Does fisetin clear senescent cells in humans?

Fisetin has senolytic interest from preclinical research, but it is not proven to clear senescent cells in humans in a way that improves aging outcomes.

Is dasatinib plus quercetin a DIY longevity protocol?

Dasatinib plus quercetin should not be treated as a DIY longevity routine. Dasatinib is a prescription oncology drug, and senolytic research does not justify self-directed use.
