Epithalon
Telomerase-Activating Tetrapeptide
A synthetic tetrapeptide studied for its potential telomerase-activating and anti-aging properties.
Overview
Epithalon (Epitalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) derived from the natural peptide epithalamin produced by the pineal gland. Research has investigated its potential to activate telomerase, the enzyme responsible for maintaining telomere length.
Research Information
Research on Epithalon has demonstrated its ability to activate telomerase in somatic cells in vitro. Studies in animal models have investigated its effects on lifespan, circadian rhythm regulation, and various biomarkers of aging. Research has also explored its antioxidant properties and effects on melatonin production.
Research Dosage Reference
Research protocols typically use doses of 5–10 mg in animal studies. Standard vials contain 10mg lyophilized powder. All dosing information is for research reference only.
