Epithalon (also spelled Epitalon) is a synthetic peptide long studied in longevity and telomere research. This guide covers its background and handling.
What is Epithalon?
Epithalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide originally derived from research on a pineal-gland peptide. It is one of the most-referenced peptides in the longevity and telomere-biology literature.
How it is studied
Research has examined Epithalon in the context of telomerase activity and circadian/neuroendocrine regulation. These are areas of scientific study rather than established human outcomes.
Forms & handling
Supplied as a lyophilised (freeze-dried) powder in sealed vials, reconstituted with bacteriostatic water for research use — see the reconstitution guide. Store sealed vials cool and out of direct light; refrigerate reconstituted solutions.
Why third-party testing matters
Research is only as reliable as the material behind it. Every batch we stock undergoes independent third-party analysis, and we publish the results so purity and identity can be verified rather than assumed. See our independent lab testing and HPLC purity testing.
Frequently asked questions
What is Epithalon studied for?
It is examined in research on telomerase and neuroendocrine/circadian regulation. It is not approved for human use.
Is Epithalon the same as Epitalon?
Yes — “Epithalon” and “Epitalon” are alternate spellings of the same peptide.
Is Epithalon for human use?
No. Supplied strictly for laboratory research use, not for human or animal consumption.
