Humanin vs Chonluten
Side-by-side comparison of key properties, dosing, and research.
- Summary
- Humanin is a mitochondria-derived peptide (MDP) encoded in the 16S rRNA region of the mitochondrial genome. It protects neurons and other cells from apoptosis, improves insulin sensitivity, and declines significantly with age. HNG (S14G-Humanin) is a synthetic analog with 1000x greater potency.
- Chonluten is a tripeptide bioregulator (Glu-Asp-Leu) developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson, tissue-specific to the bronchi and lungs. While related to Bronchogen (a tetrapeptide), Chonluten is a shorter tripeptide sequence. It supports bronchial mucosal cell function, promotes respiratory epithelial regeneration, and is used in protocols for COPD, chronic bronchitis, and pulmonary anti-aging.
