The science of
human vision,
cell by cell.
An independent laboratory dedicated to the eye. Vision begins at the fovea, the pinpoint of sharpest sight, travels through the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), and is powered every step by mitochondria. Reference-grade compounds, characterized to ≥99% purity and modeled in-house against their molecular targets.
Materials are supplied strictly for in-vitro laboratory research. Not for human or veterinary use. No therapeutic claim is made.

The Anatomy of Vision : Eye, Brain, Longevity
From the macula and fovea, through the retina's neurons, down the optic nerve to the visual cortex, and across the aging of the whole system. Every structure mapped, and linked to the materials studied against it.
Macula & Fovea
The core visual center of the retina. Responsible for high-acuity daylight vision, the fovea is highly vulnerable to metabolic energy failure. Epitalon (AEDG) is studied here for protecting the supporting retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells to preserve central visual acuity.
The Eye
Where light becomes signal, across the retina and the optic nerve head. This is where the research concentrates.
The Brain
Where signal becomes perception, from the chiasm to the visual cortex. Shown for completeness; not targeted by the materials.
Why Vision Is an Energy Problem
Sharp central vision depends on the fovea and the retinal ganglion cells behind it: some of the most energy-hungry cells in the body. The research literature points to three stressors that drain that energy.
Screen Phototoxicity
Chronic high-energy visible (HEV) exposure is associated in the literature with cumulative photo-oxidative load on foveal photoreceptor and RGC mitochondria.
NAD⁺ Depletion
Tissue NAD⁺ pools decline with age and metabolic stress, constraining sirtuin/PARP-dependent maintenance pathways in high-demand neural tissue.
Cardiolipin Oxidation
Peroxidation of inner-membrane cardiolipin is described as an early event in mitochondrial dysfunction and intrinsic apoptotic signaling.
Neuronal Apoptosis
Age-related accumulation of neuronal cell death driven by oxidative damage and caspase activation, with retinal ganglion cells among the most vulnerable CNS neurons.
The reference materials catalogued here map to five nodes studied in this literature: a redox-cofactor substrate (NAD⁺), a chromatin-interacting tetrapeptide (Epitalon), a cardiolipin-associating tetrapeptide (SS-31), a neuroprotective tripeptide bioregulator (Pinealon), and a mitochondrial-derived peptide (MOTS-c). Their inclusion is descriptive of the published research; it is not a claim of efficacy, benefit, or fitness for any use in humans. All materials are currently available for pre-order.

Frequently Asked
Common questions on scope, compliance, and analytics.
Full terms are documented in the Compliance repository.
Every material is supplied strictly for in-vitro laboratory research. Materials are not drugs, foods, cosmetics, or supplements, and are not for human or veterinary use, consumption, or administration by any route.
We do not require formal institutional credentials, but all orders require an explicit attestation at checkout that the materials are obtained solely for in-vitro laboratory research and reference use, and will not be administered to humans or animals.
Identity is confirmed by LC-MS / MS and purity by HPLC, with a reference spec of ≥99% for every peptide and cofactor standard in the catalogue.
Our secure cluster runs flexible peptide–protein and peptide–DNA structural prediction and all-atom dynamics. Outputs are anonymized structural reference data, not claims of physiological effect.
No. Nothing on this site has been evaluated by the FDA, and no statement is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Research summaries describe published literature and in-house computation as reference material only.
