The top-ranked peptides for longevity & anti-aging based on research evidence and current vendor pricing are: 1) Rapamycin, 2) Metformin, 3) Fisetin, 4) Dasatinib, 5) FOXO4-DRI. Each is profiled below with mechanism, dosing, and the cheapest current source. ### Which peptide works fastest for longevity & anti-aging? Onset varies by mechanism. Direct-acting compounds (e.g., metabolic agonists for fat loss, healing peptides for tissue repair) typically show effects within 2-4 weeks of consistent dosing. Adaptogenic and longevity compounds operate on slower 8-12 week timelines. Each compound profile has its own onset notes — see the linked research pages for specifics. ### Where to buy peptides for longevity & anti-aging? BodyHackGuide tracks live vendor pricing across every compound on this page. Each row links to the buyer-intent /buy/ page where vendors are ranked cheapest-first by price per mg, with active coupon codes surfaced. Trust Score rubric (0-100) filters out low-quality vendors before they're surfaced anywhere. ### Are these peptides legal to buy?
