Epithalon

Epithalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide based on the natural epithalamin produced by the pineal gland. It activates telomerase (hTERT), the enzyme responsible for adding telomeric repeats to chromosome ends, thereby extending telomere length and increasing cellular replicative capacity. It also stimulates melatonin production from the pineal gland, restoring circadian rhythm function that declines with age. Additionally, it modulates antioxidant enzyme expression and has been shown to extend lifespan in animal models.
