How It Works
Epitalon (Epithalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) that activates telomerase, the enzyme responsible for maintaining telomere length. Developed by the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology.
Potential Benefits
- •Activates telomerase and extends telomere length in vitro.
- •Anti-aging and longevity effects in animal models.
- •Improves melatonin secretion and circadian regulation.
- •Antioxidant properties.
Side Effects & Risks
- •Generally well-tolerated in available studies.
- •Limited human clinical data.
Important Notes
- Developed by the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology.
- Limited human clinical data; primarily animal and in vitro evidence.
Storage Instructions
- Lyophilized: −20 °C (−4 °F).
- Once mixed: 2–8 °C; use within 14 days.
