Epithalon

A synthetic tetrapeptide derived from the pineal gland, studied as a telomerase activator and one of the most researched longevity compounds available.

Activates the telomerase enzyme to lengthen telomeres, regulates melatonin secretion, provides antioxidant activity and modulates the neuroendocrine system.

Your telomeres are the protective caps on your DNA that shorten every time a cell divides. Epithalon research asks whether activating the enzyme that lengthens them can meaningfully slow cellular aging.

• Telomere length
• Telomerase activity
• Melatonin secretion rhythm
• Oxidative stress markers
• Lifespan in animal cohorts
• Sleep architecture

• Telomere lengthening
• Lifespan extension in animal models
• Sleep architecture improvement
• Antioxidant protection
• Cancer resistance in animal models
• Hormonal regulation

Developed at the St Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology from pineal gland extract research led by Vladimir Khavinson, with multi-decade Russian follow-up cohorts.

Men and women 40 plus focused on anti-aging, telomere support, sleep improvement, longevity and cellular repair.

• Reconstitute with bacteriostatic or sterile water.
• Add diluent slowly down the vial wall.
• Short half-life, protocols typically use short cycles.
• Store lyophilised at -20C, reconstituted at 4C.
• Protect from light.

• Primary evidence base is Russian preclinical and cohort literature.
• Short half-life, cyclical protocols are standard.
• Melatonin regulation makes evening timing common.
• Often stacked with other longevity compounds.
