No Human Safety Data

Because no human trial exists, humanin has no characterized human side-effect profile. Active malignancy is treated as a precautionary contraindication given its cytoprotective mechanism, which theoretically could protect damaged cells indiscriminately.

Contraindications

  • pregnancy
  • active malignancy
