Research & Development

Research and development in peptides, cells and healthy aging

We run research and development programs in three areas. They range from scientific review and laboratory work to human clinical trials for some of our products.

Active developmentOur research and development is active work, and some of our products have reached the stage of human clinical trials. A product in a clinical trial is investigational: it is not approved, and its safety and effectiveness are still being tested. We report results only when they are established and available from a source.

Peptide research

  • Research and product development related to peptides.
  • Developing how peptides may be used in health and wellness.
  • Developing and evaluating peptide products.
  • Telling development-stage products apart from products we distribute today.
Our peptide activities

Cellular research

  • Applying cellular science and new research methods.
  • Studying cell processes that matter for health and aging.
  • Turning research findings into product-development programs.

Longevity and healthy aging

  • Research into the biological processes linked to aging.
  • Developing and evaluating new approaches to wellness and longevity.
  • Applying new scientific findings in our development programs.
Longevity and wellness

How we approach research

We read and assess scientific literature. We write down what we do and what we find. We work with internal and outside scientific partners when that helps. We prepare summaries so that decisions rest on evidence and not on enthusiasm.

Clinical development

This table shows how we describe the stages of our development work and where we stand in each.

Our development stages
StageWhat it involvesWhere we stand
1. Scientific review and conceptWe study the scientific literature and define what we want to test.Active
2. Product development and laboratory evaluationWe develop and evaluate candidate products.Active
3. Human clinical trialsInvestigational products are studied in people to learn about safety and effectiveness.Some of our products have reached this stage
4. Regulatory reviewAuthorities review the evidence before a product can be authorized for a specific use.Applies only to products that complete the earlier stages

Products in stage 3 are investigational. They are not approved, and their safety and effectiveness are still being tested. We share details of individual programs with industry professionals who contact us through our contact form.

A product we distribute today is a commercial product. It is separate from our development programs. When we report results, we will say how they were obtained and what they show and do not show.

Our partnership with Longeveron is part of our strategic interest in wellness and anti-aging.
