Product Description
Epithalon | 50mg
Researching Longevity, Cellular Aging, and Neuroendocrine Function
What It Does
Epithalon is being studied for its role in cellular aging and longevity pathways. It is a focus in research exploring telomerase activation, oxidative stress reduction, and neuroendocrine regulation, with particular interest in its effects on sleep quality and cellular repair processes.
What Researchers Explore
- Telomerase activation and telomere maintenance
- Cellular aging and senescence pathways
- Sleep quality and circadian rhythm regulation
- Oxidative stress and DNA damage reduction
- Neuroendocrine and pineal gland function
Technical Background
Epithalon (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) is a synthetic tetrapeptide (~390 Da) derived from the bovine pineal peptide complex Epithalamin. It has been shown in vitro to increase telomerase activity in human somatic cells, contributing to telomere elongation.
Research spanning multiple decades suggests potential geroprotective effects through antioxidant, neuroprotective, and antimutagenic mechanisms. It has also been associated with modulation of melatonin synthesis and enzymatic activity, including acetylcholinesterase and telomerase.
