Epithalon, also known as Epitalon, is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) inspired by Epithalamin, a naturally occurring peptide secreted by the pineal gland. This compound is actively investigated in preclinical research for its potential to enhance telomerase activity, thereby promoting telomere elongation and genomic stability. Studies have examined its effects on delaying replicative senescence, improving DNA repair mechanisms, and modulating both circadian and neuroendocrine pathways.
Epithalon is intended solely for research use. It is not for human consumption and should be handled only in controlled laboratory settings.
