Epithalon (Epitalon)
Synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) studied in telomere and aging research.
Third-Party Tested by Verum Analytics

Albert's Verdict
Epithalon's telomerase activation data is what puts it in a category of its own for cellular-aging research. The pineal gland regulation angle adds another layer — this tetrapeptide has more research depth than most compounds three times its size.

Product Description
Epithalon (Epitalon/Epithalone) is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) based on the natural pineal gland peptide Epithalamin. Developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson, it has been extensively researched for its ability to activate telomerase, the enzyme responsible for maintaining telomere length—a key biomarker of cellular aging.
