About Epitalon
Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide with the sequence Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly. It was designed as a synthetic analog of epithalamin, a peptide extract from the pineal gland.
Canada Research Labs supplies Epitalon as 10mg of lyophilized powder in a 3 mL glass vial, packed and shipped from Ontario.
See our Epitalon research overview.
Research background
Epitalon was developed by Vladimir Khavinson and colleagues at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology. Most published research on it comes from that group. One frequently cited study (Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine, 2003) reported telomerase activity in cultured human fibroblasts exposed to Epitalon.
Other preclinical work has examined it in models of pineal gland function and melatonin secretion, reflecting its origin as an analog of a pineal extract. Because the literature comes mostly from a single research group, researchers should review it directly and weigh the limited independent replication.
