Epithalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) derived from Epithalamin, a natural polypeptide extract of the pineal gland, developed by Vladimir Khavinson at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology. Preclinical research has examined Epithalon’s effects on telomere elongation through telomerase activation, neuroendocrine regulation, and antioxidant parameters. Some studies have also examined its effects on melatonin and cortisol secretion patterns. For research use only; not FDA-approved.
Q: What is Epithalon’s proposed mechanism in aging research?
A: The primary mechanism under investigation involves Epithalon’s ability to activate telomerase, the enzyme responsible for maintaining telomere length during cell division. Shortened telomeres are associated with cellular senescence and aging. Preclinical studies have reported Epithalon-induced telomerase activity and measurable telomere elongation in cell culture models.
Q: Has Epithalon been studied in human research?
A: A limited number of studies conducted primarily in Russia have examined Epithalon in human subjects for neuroendocrine and immune parameters. These studies are smaller and less rigorously controlled than Western clinical trials. The compound remains primarily in preclinical research contexts outside of Russia.
Q: Is Epithalon stable during shipping?
A: Yes. Lyophilized Epithalon is thermostable relative to many larger peptides and ships without risk of degradation under our standard cold pack conditions. Store at 2-8°C upon receipt; stable up to 24 months when properly stored.
