What is Tripeptide-10 Citrulline?
A small collagen-organizing peptide used in firming and eye-area skin products. It is intended to support extracellular matrix structure and improve the look of aging skin.
Key Benefits & Mechanisms
collagen fibril organization
skin firmness
texture improvement
eye-area support
Research Summary
Preclinical work suggests it can help organize collagen fibrils and improve matrix architecture. Human evidence is limited, but it is used in anti-aging and eye-area formulations for firming support.

Rapamycin
Rapamycin (Sirolimus)
Rapamycin is a macrolide originally developed as an immunosuppressant and is one of the most studied geroscience compounds. In aging research, it is best known for inhibiting mTOR, a pathway strongly linked to nutrient sensing, autophagy, and lifespan regulation.
Anti-AgingMetformin
Metformin Hydrochloride
Metformin is a biguanide widely used for type 2 diabetes and heavily studied for geroprotection. Its anti-aging interest comes from effects on AMPK signaling, insulin sensitivity, inflammation, and cellular stress responses.
Anti-AgingNMN
Nicotinamide Mononucleotide
Nicotinamide mononucleotide is a direct NAD+ precursor studied for age-associated declines in cellular energy and repair processes. It is commonly researched in the context of mitochondrial function, DNA repair support, and metabolic resilience.
Anti-AgingSpermidine
Spermidine
Spermidine is a naturally occurring polyamine found in cells and foods such as wheat germ and soy. It is studied for its ability to promote autophagy and support cellular maintenance pathways that decline with age.
