  • Two of the most studied longevity-oriented peptides in preclinical geroscience are Epitalon (AEDG tetrapeptide) and GHK-Cu (glycine-histidine-lysine copper complex). Both modulate fundamental biological ageing pathways — yet they do so through substantially different molecular mechanisms, at different tissue levels, and with distinct research strengths. This comparison examines the mechanistic biology, experimental model data, and research applications of each compound, helping investigators select the appropriate agent or combination strategy for ageing research programmes.
