Epithalon 10mg
10mgA synthetic tetrapeptide studied for anti-aging and telomerase activation in longevity research.
Overview
Epithalon (also spelled Epitalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) developed from the study of the pineal peptide epithalamin. It is a prominent reference compound in longevity research.
This product is supplied as 10mg of lyophilised powder for laboratory reconstitution and research use only.
Mechanism of action
Epithalon has been studied for its ability to activate telomerase, the enzyme that maintains telomere length at the ends of chromosomes, which is linked to cellular aging.
Research also describes effects on melatonin regulation and antioxidant signalling in model systems.
Research highlights
Epithalon is one of the most cited peptides in telomere and longevity research, with animal studies reporting telomerase activation and effects on lifespan markers.
Its pineal-signalling background has made it a reference compound in circadian and aging studies.
Reference dosing
Research protocols use daily subcutaneous or intramuscular injections for 10-20 days, often repeated in cycles (e.g. 2-3 times per year), commonly totalling 5-10mg per cycle. This reflects published research protocols only.
Storage & handling
Store lyophilised vials refrigerated at 2-8C, protected from light. Keep reconstituted solution refrigerated and use per protocol.
