Description

Epitalon is a synthetic four-amino-acid peptide (a tetrapeptide) modeled on epithalamin, a natural extract of the pineal gland. The pineal gland regulates melatonin and the body’s circadian rhythm

• Telomerase activation and telomere lengthening. The signature claim; research has reported that Epitalon activates telomerase, the enzyme that maintains telomeres, the protective caps on chromosomes that shorten with age.
• Melatonin and circadian regulation. Given its pineal-gland origin, it is studied for restoring melatonin rhythm and improving sleep.
• Sleep. Investigated for sleep quality, consistent with its circadian effects.
• Longevity. The overarching framing; studied in the context of aging and lifespan, including in animal models.
