Product Description
Epitalon (also known as Epithalon or Epithalone) is a synthetic tetrapeptide with the sequence
Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly. It was originally discovered and studied by Professor Vladimir Khavinson at the St.
Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology. Epitalon is a synthetic version of epithalamin, a
polypeptide naturally produced by the pineal gland. Research has primarily focused on its ability to activate
telomerase — the enzyme responsible for maintaining telomere length — as well as its effects on melatonin
production, circadian rhythm regulation, and neuroendocrine function. It is one of the most widely
investigated peptides in the field of aging and longevity research.
