Epitalon
A synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) derived from epithalamin, studied for telomerase activation and circadian benefits.
How it works
Upregulates pineal telomerase expression in cultured human cells and restores melatonin rhythm in elderly rats.
Reported benefits
- Increased telomerase activity in human cell lines
- Improved sleep-wake regularity in elderly cohorts
- Reduced mortality in long-running Russian aging studies (controversial)
Dosage & administration
Research range: 5-10 mg subcutaneously daily for 10-20 days, repeated 1-2 cycles per year.
Dosing information is summarised from published clinical and pre-clinical literature for research purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.
