What is Epithalon?
Research Focus: Longevity, Anti-Aging
Epithalon (also known as Epitalon or Epithalamin) is a synthetic tetrapeptide (4 amino acids) derived from the pineal gland. It is primarily studied for its potential to regulate telomerase activity and extend cellular lifespan.
At a Glance
Epithalon is believed to act on the pineal gland, regulating the production of melatonin and potentially influencing the body's circadian rhythms. Its most researched effect is the activation of telomerase. This section provides a general overview of its research context.
About Epithalon
Epithalon is believed to act on the pineal gland, regulating the production of melatonin and potentially influencing the body's circadian rhythms. Its most researched effect is the activation of telomerase.
How It Works
Telomerase Activation
Increases the activity of telomerase, an enzyme that rebuilds telomeres (protective caps on chromosomes), potentially slowing cellular aging.
Pineal Gland Regulation
Normalizes the function of the pineal gland, which is crucial for regulating sleep and endocrine function.
Current Research Insights
Cellular Longevity
Epithalon is a cornerstone of longevity research, with studies suggesting it can influence the fundamental mechanisms of aging at the cellular level.
Areas of Study
Anti-Aging and Longevity
Investigated for extending lifespan and improving healthspan.
Age-Related Diseases
Studied for its potential role in preventing or mitigating diseases associated with telomere shortening.
Epithalon is strictly intended for laboratory and clinical research:
- Available exclusively from authorized research suppliers
- Not FDA-approved for general therapeutic use
- Comprehensive safety, efficacy, and dosage guidelines remain under ongoing investigation
