Epitalon

Epitalon (Epithalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide based on the natural peptide epithalamin, produced by the pineal gland. It is primarily studied for its effects on telomerase activation.

Mechanism of Action

Stimulates telomerase production, which can lengthen telomeres on DNA strands. May also regulate melatonin production and circadian rhythms.

Typical Dosage (Research)

Typical protocols: 5-10mg daily for 10-20 days, repeated 2-3 times per year.

Subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. Usually administered in cycles rather than continuously.

Side Effects & Risks

Generally well-tolerated. May affect sleep patterns initially.

Long-term effects of telomerase activation not fully understood. Theoretical concerns about cell proliferation.

Who Uses Epitalon

Those interested in anti-aging, longevity research, and cellular health.
