EPITHALON
Performance
Epithalon (Epitalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) derived from the natural polypeptide Epithalamin, produced by the pineal gland. It has been extensively studied for its role in telomere elongation, telomerase activation, and regulation of the cell cycle. Research suggests Epithalon may influence melatonin secretion and circadian rhythm regulation through pineal gland modulation.

Mechanism of Action
Epithalon activates telomerase (hTERT), the enzyme responsible for telomere elongation, potentially extending the replicative lifespan of somatic cells. It regulates the expression of genes involved in cell cycle control and apoptosis, and modulates the hypothalamic-pituitary axis through its effects on the pineal gland. Research also indicates it may normalize melatonin production and restore circadian rhythm disruption in aged models.
