Epitalon

A pineal-gland peptide marketed for 'anti-aging' and telomeres, with little human evidence. Unapproved.

Key facts

  • Also known as: epithalon
  • Status: Research-only
  • Used for: 'Anti-aging'
  • Natural counterpart: A synthetic analog of epithalamin, a natural pineal peptide.
  • Target enzyme / receptor: Proposed telomerase & pineal regulation (unproven)
  • Signalling pathway: Claimed telomerase activation & melatonin regulation (not established)
    In plain terms: Claimed to switch on telomerase and pineal signalling — unproven.
