The Midas Longevity Protocol

12 compounds · 120 vials · 10 pathways · The most comprehensive longevity research kit

The Midas Longevity Protocol is a 12-compound research stack designed to address every major biological pathway of aging. Unlike single-compound approaches, it targets aging at 10 distinct levels simultaneously — from DNA-level telomere maintenance to systemic senescent cell clearance.

Why 12 Compounds?

Aging is not a single process. The 2023 revision of the "Hallmarks of Aging" (Lopez-Otin et al., Cell) identified 12 distinct hallmarks. The Midas Protocol maps to these hallmarks — each compound addresses one or more pathways that no single compound can cover alone.

All 12 Compounds

#1 — NAD+ 500mg

CAS 53-84-9 · Sirtuin / Bioenergetics

Mitochondrial electron carrier and substrate for sirtuins (SIRT1–7), PARPs, and CD38. Levels decline ~50% between ages 40–60. Restores cellular energy production, DNA repair capacity, and circadian signaling. The foundational compound for any longevity protocol.

#2 — Epitalon 10mg

CAS 307297-39-8 · Telomere Maintenance

Synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) that activates telomerase — the enzyme maintaining telomere length at chromosome ends. Short telomeres trigger cellular senescence and aging. Paired with NAD+, creates dual-mechanism anti-aging: mitochondrial function + chromosomal integrity.

#3 — GHK-Cu 100mg

CAS 49557-75-7 · Collagen / ECM Renewal

Copper tripeptide that modulates 4,000+ genes. Activates collagen I/III/IV, elastin, and GAG synthesis. Plasma levels decline from ~200 ng/ml at 20 to ~80 ng/ml by 60. Reverses age-related gene expression signatures across multiple tissue types.

#4 — SS-31 10mg

CAS 736992-21-5 · Mitochondrial Repair

Elamipretide — cell-permeable tetrapeptide that binds cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane, stabilizing cristae structure and restoring electron transport chain efficiency. In clinical trials for Barth syndrome, heart failure, and age-related mitochondrial dysfunction.

#5 — FOXO4-DRI 5mg

CAS N/A · Senolytic / Cell Clearance

D-retro-inverso peptide that disrupts FOXO4-p53 interaction in senescent cells, triggering selective apoptosis of aged, dysfunctional cells while sparing healthy cells. The most targeted senolytic approach — removing the cellular debris that drives inflammaging.

#6 — Thymosin Alpha-1 5mg

CAS 62304-98-7 · Immune Rejuvenation

28-amino-acid thymic peptide approved in 35+ countries (Zadaxin). Enhances T-cell maturation, dendritic cell function, and NK cell activity. The thymus atrophies with age — Tα1 compensates for declining thymic output, restoring immune surveillance.

#7 — BPC-157 10mg

CAS 137525-51-0 · Tissue Repair

Stable gastric pentadecapeptide that modulates NO pathways and upregulates growth factor cascades (EGF, FGF, VEGF). Researched for gut lining repair, tendon and ligament healing, and neuroprotection. The most versatile tissue repair peptide available.

#8 — TB-500 10mg

CAS 77591-33-4 · Tissue Repair

Thymosin beta-4 fragment promoting cell migration, angiogenesis, and systemic inflammation reduction. Complements BPC-157 with body-wide reach — where BPC-157 heals locally, TB-500 provides systemic support for joints, connective tissue, and cardiovascular health.

#9 — CJC-1295 No DAC 5mg

CAS 863288-34-0 · GH Axis Optimization

Modified GRF 1-29 that stimulates pulsatile GH release while preserving natural circadian rhythms. Growth hormone declines ~14% per decade after 30. Restoring youthful GH pulsatility improves sleep architecture, body composition, skin elasticity, and recovery.

#10 — Ipamorelin 5mg

CAS 170851-70-4 · GH Axis Optimization

The most selective GH secretagogue — stimulates GH release without affecting cortisol, prolactin, or aldosterone. Paired with CJC-1295 for synergistic GH support. The gentlest approach to restoring youthful growth hormone levels.

#11 — L-Glutathione 600mg

CAS 70-18-8 · Antioxidant Defense

The body's master intracellular antioxidant — a tripeptide of glutamate, cysteine, and glycine. Scavenges free radicals, regenerates vitamins C and E, supports Phase II liver detoxification, and inhibits tyrosinase for skin tone evenness. Levels decline steadily with age.

#12 — Humanin 10mg

CAS N/A · Cytoprotection

Mitochondrial-derived 24-amino-acid peptide encoded in the 16S rRNA gene. Activates STAT3 survival pathway and inhibits BAX-mediated apoptosis. One of the most potent cytoprotective peptides — protecting neurons, cardiomyocytes, and pancreatic beta cells from age-related damage.
