Epithalon (also known as Epitalon, AEDG peptide) is a tetrapeptide studied for telomerase activity and aging. This page covers what the published research does — and does not — establish about it in relation to anti-aging and longevity.
Epithalon is researched for Telomere & aging research — which is why it appears in discussions of anti-aging and longevity.
Research status: Limited human data, largely from Russian longevity research.
How Epithalon is thought to work
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.
What it does not establish
Longevity claims are preliminary and not established in large human trials.
Nothing on this page is a recommendation to use Epithalon, and Selpho publishes no dosing, reconstitution or sourcing information. Read how we decide what goes in the library.
