Description
Epithalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide (composed of four amino acids) that is based on the natural peptide Epithalamin, which is produced in the pineal gland. It is best known for its ability to activate the enzyme telomerase, which plays a crucial role in protecting and lengthening telomeres. Telomeres are the protective caps at the ends of our chromosomes that shorten with age. By activating telomerase, Epithalon helps to slow down the aging process at a cellular level, promoting longevity and overall health.
Benefits:
- Anti-Aging and Longevity: The primary benefit of Epithalon is its ability to activate telomerase, which helps to lengthen telomeres and extend the lifespan of cells. Research by Khavinson & Morozov (2003) showed that peptides of the pineal gland and thymus can prolong human life. This has a profound anti-aging effect on the body.
- Improved Sleep and Circadian Rhythms: Epithalon has been shown to help regulate the sleep-wake cycle and improve sleep quality.
- Antioxidant Properties: The peptide has antioxidant effects, helping to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
- Hormone Regulation: It can help to normalize the levels of various hormones, including melatonin and cortisol.
Recommended Dosage: For research purposes, a typical dosage is 5-10 mg per day, administered for 10-20 days. This cycle is often repeated every 6-12 months. A 10mg vial provides a 1-2 day supply.
Recommended Stacks:
- Longevity & Anti-Aging Stack: To maximize anti-aging benefits, Epithalon can be stacked with NAD+, MOTS-C, and Melatonin.
