About Epithalon

Epithalon (also spelled Epitalon or Epithalamin) is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) derived from the natural peptide Epithalamin isolated from the bovine pineal gland. It was developed by Russian scientist Vladimir Khavinson at the St. Petersburg Institute of Biogerontology. Epithalon is one of the most studied peptides in the field of geroscience — the science of aging.

Epithalon's primary researched mechanism is the activation of telomerase — the enzyme responsible for lengthening telomeres at the ends of chromosomes. Telomere shortening is a hallmark of cellular aging, and telomerase activation is theorized to slow this process. Animal studies have demonstrated extended lifespan, reduced cancer incidence, and improved markers of biological aging with Epithalon treatment.

Epithalon is typically supplied in 10mg vials. Using 2ml of bacteriostatic water gives 5,000 mcg/ml. Research protocols often use 5–10mg per injection, administered in cycles — a common cycle is 5mg daily for 10–20 days, once or twice yearly.

Epithalon also shows melatonin-normalizing properties through pineal gland interactions and has been studied for immune system enhancement, circadian rhythm regulation, and antioxidant effects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Research protocols commonly use 5–10mg per injection. A typical cycle is 5mg daily for 10–20 days. For a 10mg vial + 2ml BAC water (5000 mcg/ml), 5mg = 1ml = 100 units.
Epithalon activates telomerase, the enzyme that elongates telomeres. Telomere shortening is associated with cellular aging. Epithalon also regulates pineal gland function and melatonin synthesis.
Common research cycles use daily injections for 10–20 days, typically once or twice per year. Some researchers use shorter, more frequent cycles.
Epithalon is often combined with other longevity-focused compounds like GHK-Cu, MOTS-C, or NAD+ in research protocols. There are no known contraindications to combining these peptides.
Add 2ml of bacteriostatic water to a 10mg Epithalon vial for 5000 mcg/ml. Inject BAC water slowly along the glass wall. Gently swirl until the powder dissolves. Store at 2–8°C.
