Product Overview
Epithalon (also known as Epitalon or Epithalamin) is a synthetic tetrapeptide derived from the natural pineal peptide Epithalamin, which was originally isolated from the bovine pineal gland. It has been extensively studied in the field of biogerontology for its role in activating telomerase, extending telomere length, and promoting genomic stability. Research indicates that Epithalon supports circadian rhythm regulation, antioxidant defense, and cellular regeneration, making it a key peptide in longevity and anti-aging studies.
Epithalon Research Summary
Epithalon has been investigated for its potential to delay cellular aging through the activation of telomerase, an enzyme that restores telomere length and promotes DNA stability. It also influences the expression of genes involved in circadian rhythm and oxidative stress control. Studies from the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology and other research centers have demonstrated its broad effects on longevity, neuroprotection, and endocrine regulation.
Key research findings include:
- Induces telomerase activity and elongates telomeres in somatic cells (Biochemistry Moscow, 2003).
- Increases lifespan and reduces tumor incidence in animal models (Bull Exp Biol Med, 2001).
- Normalizes melatonin secretion and supports circadian rhythm regulation (Neuroendocrinol Lett, 2004).
- Enhances antioxidant enzyme activity and reduces lipid peroxidation (Adv Gerontol, 2005).
- Protects neurons and supports DNA repair in aging cell models (Front Aging Neurosci, 2020).
Epithalon’s multi-faceted activity makes it a foundational compound for research on aging, telomere biology, and regenerative endocrinology.
