Description

Epithalon, also known as Epitalon, is a synthetic version of the naturally occurring tetrapeptide epithalamin, originally isolated from the pineal gland. Composed of four amino acids (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly), Epithalon has been widely researched for its ability to stimulate telomerase activity, which may contribute to the maintenance of telomere length and cellular longevity.

Research has also explored Epithalon’s role in regulating circadian rhythms, enhancing melatonin production, and improving neuroendocrine function—particularly in age-related decline. In experimental models, it has demonstrated antioxidant properties, immune modulation, and potential protective effects against age-associated degenerative changes. The 500 mcg oral formulation allows for convenient delivery in research protocols focused on systemic and cellular aging, neuroprotection, and hormone regulation. While results are promising, Epithalon remains a subject of ongoing preclinical and clinical investigation.
