What is Epithalon?

Epithalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide studied for its potential to activate telomerase and extend telomere length, with theoretical anti-aging implications.

How It Works

Epithalon may activate telomerase, the enzyme responsible for maintaining telomere length. It may also regulate melatonin production.

What Research Shows

20
Animal Studies
3
Human Studies

Key Findings:

  • May activate telomerase in cell studies
  • Potential effects on circadian rhythm
  • Limited but promising longevity research in animals

Limited Human Research

Most research on Epithalon has been conducted in animal models. Human clinical trials are limited or absent. Results may not translate directly to humans.

Sourcing & Quality

Quality varies significantly between peptide sources. When sourcing Epithalon, consider:

  • Third-party testing (HPLC, Mass Spectrometry)
  • Certificate of Analysis (CoA) availability
  • Purity levels (>98% recommended)
  • Beware of LPS (endotoxin) contamination
