What Is Epithalon?
Epithalon (also spelled Epitalon) is a four-amino-acid synthetic peptide derived from epithalamin — a naturally occurring peptide produced in the pineal gland. It has been studied primarily in the context of aging research.
How It Works
Epithalon is being studied for its potential to activate telomerase — an enzyme that may help maintain or restore telomere length. Telomeres are protective caps on chromosomes that shorten with age. Researchers are also studying its effects on circadian rhythm regulation.
