1What Is Epithalon?

Epithalon (also spelled Epitalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide (4 amino acids: Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) developed by Russian scientist Vladimir Khavinson at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology. It is based on epithalamin, a natural extract from the pineal gland. Khavinson and colleagues have published extensive research on epithalon's potential role in extending telomere length and its effects on aging biomarkers in animal and some human studies. Available for in-vitro research use only.

4What Researchers Have Observed

🧬

Telomere Research

Research from Khavinson's group has reported that epithalon activates telomerase (the enzyme that extends telomeres - the protective caps on chromosomes) in cell culture and animal models, which is a subject of significant gerontology research interest.

📅

Longevity Research in Animal Models

Long-term studies in mice and rats have reported extended lifespans and reduced tumor incidence in groups receiving epithalon compared to controls, though these studies are from a single research group and require independent replication.

These findings are from pre-clinical and early-phase research. Results in human subjects have not been established.
