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.
