What is Epithalon?
Epithalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide based on epithalamin, a pineal gland extract. It is researched primarily in the longevity field for effects on telomerase activity and circadian/hormonal regulation.
Also known as: Epitalon, AEDG peptide
How Epithalon is studied
Epithalon (epitalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide based on the pineal extract epithalamin. It is studied in the longevity field for possible effects on telomerase activity and on circadian and hormonal regulation, primarily in animal and limited human research.
