Epithalon (Epitalon)

Epithalon (also known as Epitalon or Epithalone) is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) based on the naturally occurring polypeptide Epithalamin produced by the pineal gland. Research by Professor Vladimir Khavinson demonstrated that Epithalon activates telomerase — the enzyme responsible for maintaining telomere length in chromosomes. Telomere shortening is one of the key mechanisms of cellular aging, making Epithalon one of the most significant peptides in longevity research. Animal studies have shown lifespan extension of up to 24%. We supply Epithalon in high-purity lyophilized form for research institutions and longevity clinics worldwide.
