What is Epitalon and what does research show?
Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) developed from pineal-gland extract research. It is studied in preclinical models for telomerase activity, circadian-rhythm and pineal-axis signaling, and cellular-senescence pathways.
Epitalon (also spelled Epithalon) is a short synthetic tetrapeptide — Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly — derived from research on a polypeptide extract of the bovine pineal gland called Epithalamin.
Research focus:
- Telomerase activity — Epitalon is one of the most-studied peptides in telomere-biology research.
- Pineal and circadian-rhythm signaling.
- Cellular senescence markers in preclinical and in-vitro models.
Most of the published literature on Epitalon comes from Russian gerontology research. As with all research peptides, Epitalon is supplied by ADAM Molecular Research strictly for in-vitro and preclinical laboratory investigation. No human therapeutic claims are made.
