Epithalon Description
Epithalon, also known as Epitalon, is a synthetic peptide composed of four amino acids: alanine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, and glycine. It is derived from a natural peptide called epithalamin, which is extracted from the pineal gland.
The Epitalon peptide has gained interest in longevity research as a potential bioregulator that may influence cellular aging processes. Most notably, Epithalon has been studied for its potential as a modulator of telomerase, an enzyme that helps maintain telomere length.
