Epitalon (10mg)

Research Overview

A tetrapeptide based on the pineal gland peptide epithalamine, developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson at the St. Petersburg Institute of Biogerontology. Epithalon is the most-studied telomerase activator of peptide origin, with research spanning over 35 years in the Khavinson laboratory.

Origin: Synthetic version of Epithalamine from the pineal gland (Prof. Khavinson)

Mechanism of Action

• Telomerase (hTERT) activation

• Telomere elongation

• Melatonin secretion normalization

• Pineal gland function restoration

• Circadian rhythm regulation

Primary Research Areas

• Telomere biology

• Aging research

• Circadian rhythm

• Melatonin regulation

• Lifespan extension

Key Published Findings

• Activated telomerase in human somatic cells, extending telomere length (Khavinson et al., 2003)

• Extended median lifespan by 13.3% in aged mice (Anisimov et al., 2003)

• Restored melatonin secretion patterns in aged primates
