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. - Crystal structure: no peptide–target complex in the PDB yet — study the target ↗
