Epithalon 10 mg

Epithalon (also known as Epitalon, Epithalone, or N-terminal L-alanyl-L-glutamyl-L-aspartyl-glycine) is a synthetic tetrapeptide composed of four amino acids in the sequence Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly. It was developed as a short synthetic analog of epithalamin, a peptide preparation originally isolated from the bovine pineal gland, and is most commonly grouped among the so-called anti-aging or bioregulatory peptides studied in gerontology research.

In preclinical and in-vitro studies, Epithalon has been investigated primarily for its proposed role in modulating telomerase activity. Cell-culture research, much of it conducted at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology, has reported induction of the catalytic telomerase subunit (hTERT) and associated telomere elongation in cultured human somatic cells, including observations of proliferation extending beyond the conventional Hayflick limit. These remain laboratory observations and have not been established as human health effects.

Additional animal-model and in-vitro work has examined Epithalon in the context of pineal regulation and melatonin synthesis, antioxidant enzyme activity (such as superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase), immune and thymic parameters, and oncostatic endpoints in rodent models. All such findings are reported strictly within experimental research settings and are presented here only to characterize the compound's documented investigational context, not as evidence of therapeutic benefit.
