Epithalon
Epithalon is a synthetic peptide studied for its potential to promote healthy aging by supporting telomerase activity, reducing oxidative stress, and improving cellular longevity.
Quantity: 1
All peptides arrive in powdered form for stability
What is Epithalon?
Epithalon (also known as Epitalon or Epithalamin) is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) derived from a naturally occurring peptide in the pineal gland. It was originally studied in Russia for its potential role in regulating aging-related processes and cellular longevity. Research has focused on its effects on telomerase activity, oxidative stress, and circadian rhythm regulation. Epithalon is often classified as a geroprotective peptide, investigated for its influence on lifespan, cellular health, and age-related conditions.
Potential Benefits Shown in Studies
Possible benefits of Epithalon:
- Telomerase Activation & Telomere Elongation
- Oxidative Stress Reduction & Antioxidant Protection
- Circadian Rhythm Regulation & Melatonin Support
- Neuroprotective & Cellular Longevity Effects
Mechanisms of Action
Epithalon may work by:
Stimulating telomerase activity, which helps maintain or lengthen telomeres and support healthy cell replication
Acting as an antioxidant, reducing oxidative stress and free radical damage in cells
Regulating melatonin production and supporting circadian rhythm balance
Modulating expression of certain genes linked to cell repair and longevity
Supporting immune function and stress resilience in animal and early human studies
Potentially delaying signs of age-related decline in research models
