Epithalon
A tetrapeptide studied in telomerase and circadian-regulation models.
Evidence grade: Emerging
What Epithalon is
Epithalon is a short synthetic peptide investigated in aging models, with the majority of published work originating from a small number of research groups. Independent replication is limited.
Mechanism (preclinical)
Preclinical reports suggest telomerase upregulation and modulation of melatonin/circadian pathways.
Primary research areas
Telomerase activityCircadian regulationAging biomarkers
Selected studies
Telomerase activation (cell culture)
2003Increased telomerase activity reported in vitro.
Regulatory status
Not FDA-approved. Sold for laboratory research use only.
If you source Epithalon for laboratory research
Buy only from a vendor that publishes a lot-matched COA from an independent laboratory. Check the lot number on the vial against the certificate. Read the HPLC result and the mass spectrometry result. Ask for the chromatogram.
