Epithalon – 10mg

Category:
Longevity / Anti-Aging / Pineal Axis Support

Primary Benefits:

• Stimulates telomerase to lengthen telomeres

• May improve sleep and restore circadian rhythm

• Supports melatonin production and pineal gland health

• Enhances cellular longevity and mitochondrial activity

• May modulate immune function and reduce inflammation

Mechanism of Action:

Epithalon (also known as Epitalon or epithalamin) is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) originally derived from the pineal glands of young mammals. It is believed to activate telomerase, an enzyme that repairs telomeres—the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes. In addition to its genomic effects, Epithalon also regulates melatonin secretion and supports overall neuroendocrine balance, particularly in the hypothalamic–pituitary–pineal axis.

Dosing & Protocol

Subcutaneous (SQ) Injection:
• Reconstitution:
 – 10 mg vial → 1.0 ml bacteriostatic water

• Dose:
 – 10 mg (100 units)

• Cycle:
 Every 3 days for 15 days
 Repeat cycle twice yearly
 (5 vials total per cycle)

• Timing:
 Take in the morning on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before eating.

Potential Side Effects:

• Mild irritation at injection site

• Temporary fatigue or drowsiness

• Rare headache or nausea

• No known long-term side effects with proper cycling

Common Stacks:

• With Cerebrolysin or Semax: For cognitive and neuroprotective synergy

• With GHK-Cu: For skin and tissue regeneration

• With Melatonin: To reinforce circadian and pineal signaling

Notes:

Epithalon is often used in anti-aging protocols for its telomere-preserving and pineal-supportive properties. Clinical research suggests that cyclic use may lead to cumulative longevity benefits. While not sedating, it may enhance sleep quality over time. Store reconstituted vials in the refrigerator and use within 30–45 days.
