Epithalon 10mg Research Peptide
Epithalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) developed by Vladimir Khavinson at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology. It is a synthetic analog of the natural pineal-gland peptide epithalamin.
Purity
99.5% HPLC-tested purity with COA support.
Size
10mg Lyophilized Powder.
Storage
-20°C (Freezer)
Research use
For laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.
Mechanism of action
Epithalon upregulates telomerase activity in somatic cells, restoring telomere length in cultured human fibroblasts. It also normalizes circadian melatonin secretion in older animals and increases lifespan in multiple rodent models — among the most consistent longevity signals in the peptide literature.
Research applications
- Telomerase activity and telomere length research
- Circadian rhythm and melatonin studies
- Longevity and lifespan extension research
- Pineal gland function studies
- Cellular senescence research
Frequently asked questions
Epithalon or Epitalon — same thing?
Yes. Epithalon, Epitalon and Epithalamin (the natural pineal extract it derives from) all refer to the same Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly peptide. Spelling varies between Western and Russian transliterations.
What's the published evidence for telomerase activation?
Khavinson's group showed Epithalon restores telomerase activity and telomere length in human somatic cells in vitro and extends lifespan in multiple rodent and human cohort studies over 20+ years.
How is Epithalon typically dosed in research?
Published protocols typically use 5-10mg per day for 10-20 day cycles, repeated 1-2x per year. Refer to original Khavinson et al. literature for full protocols.
