EPITALON
(Epithalamin)
Epitalon is a powerful anti-aging peptide known for its remarkable potential to support life longevity. It works by activating the enzyme telomerase, which helps maintain and lengthen telomeres—the protective caps on chromosomes that shorten with age. By preserving telomere length, Epitalon promotes healthier cell replication, delays cellular aging, and supports overall vitality. It also enhances pineal gland function, improving melatonin production and sleep quality. Research suggests Epitalon may strengthen immune function, reduce oxidative stress, and support DNA repair. Its regenerative effects make it a promising tool for extending lifespan, enhancing resilience, and promoting long-term health and youthful biological function.
Benefits
Telomere Lengthening
​
-
Activates telomerase, an enzyme that helps maintain or lengthen telomeres
-
Supports healthier cell division and delays cellular aging
Improves Pineal Gland Function
​
-
Enhances melatonin production, improving sleep quality and circadian rhythm
-
Balances hormonal function, especially in aging individuals
Boosts Immune System
​
-
Strengthens immune cell activity, improving resistance to infection and disease
Promotes DNA Repair
​
-
Helps reduce age-related genetic damage
-
Supports longevity through genomic stability
Reduces Oxidative Stress
​
-
Acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from free radical damage
Enhances Mitochondrial Function
​
-
Improves energy metabolism and cellular efficiency
Supports Neuroprotection
​
-
May protect against cognitive decline and age-related neurodegenerative changes
Improves Sleep and Mood
​
-
Regulates circadian rhythm, aiding deeper sleep and emotional stability
Potential Cancer-Protective Effects
​
-
Some studies suggest it may help regulate abnormal cell growth (early research)
Extends Lifespan (in animal models)
​
-
Studies show increased lifespan in rodents and improved biomarkers of aging
Side Effects
Mild and Common Side Effects
​
-
Headache
-
Fatigue or drowsiness
-
Dizziness or light-headedness
-
Temporary changes in sleep patterns (especially early in use)
-
Injection site irritation (redness, swelling, or mild pain)
Rare or Reported Reactions
​
-
Nausea or upset stomach
-
Mood changes (e.g., mild euphoria or low mood swings)
-
Short-term insomnia or vivid dreams (due to altered melatonin production)
Unknown Long-Term Risks
​
-
Long-term human studies are limited
-
Potential hormonal shifts due to pineal gland stimulation (still under investigation)
-
Not recommended during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or in individuals with hormone-sensitive conditions unless under medical guidance
Precautions
​
-
Should be administered under medical supervision
-
Always use pharmaceutical-grade peptides from reputable sources
-
Not recommended for use alongside cancer therapy unless supervised, due to theoretical effects on cell proliferation
Dosage
Standard Injectable Dosage (Subcutaneous or Intramuscular)
​
-
Daily Dose:
5–10 mg per day -
Frequency:
Once daily, usually in the evening (to align with melatonin production) -
Cycle Length:
10–20 consecutive days
Repeat cycle 2–3 times per year (every 4–6 months)
Administration Method
​
-
Route: Subcutaneous (preferred) or intramuscular injection
-
Injection site: Abdomen or upper thigh
-
Time: Best taken in the evening, to support natural circadian rhythm
Alternative: Oral or Sublingual Use (less bioavailable)
​
-
Oral Dose: 10–50 mg/day (divided doses)
-
Sublingual Dose: 5–10 mg/day
-
Requires longer duration (30–60 days) due to lower absorption
Typical Protocol Example
​
Day Dosage
1–20 10 mg daily (injectable)
Day 21+. Stop (rest period for 4–6 months)
Tips:
-
Store peptide in the refrigerator (2–8°C) once reconstituted.
-
Use bacteriostatic water for reconstitution.
-
Always follow aseptic injection protocols.​
