Epithalon

Research Phase

Anti-Aging & Skin

A synthetic tetrapeptide that activates telomerase, potentially extending cellular lifespan and slowing biological aging.

Administration

Subcutaneous injection

Dosage Range

5-10 mg daily for 10-20 day cycles

Mechanism of Action

Epithalon stimulates telomerase production in somatic cells, extending telomere length and potentially increasing the Hayflick limit. It also regulates melatonin production and normalizes circadian rhythms.

Clinical Benefits

Activates telomerase enzyme

May extend telomere length

Regulates melatonin production

Improves sleep quality

Potential anti-aging effects

Normalizes neuroendocrine function

Clinical Evidence

Russian clinical studies by Professor Khavinson showed increased telomerase activity and improved health markers in elderly patients. Long-term studies suggest reduced mortality in treated groups.

Side Effects

Injection site irritation

Mild drowsiness

Headache (rare)

Contraindications

Active cancer

Pregnancy

Autoimmune conditions
