Scientific Background
Mechanism of Action
Epithalon activates telomerase (hTERT) expression, enabling elongation of telomeres in somatic cells. It also regulates the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, normalizes melatonin secretion, and modulates gene expression patterns associated with aging via epigenetic mechanisms.
Clinical Context
Epithalon has one of the longest research histories of any longevity peptide, with studies dating to the 1980s. Clinical data from Russian gerontology institutes shows improvements in biomarkers of aging with periodic cycling protocols.
Research Highlights
- Shown to elongate telomeres in human somatic cells in vitro
- Extended lifespan by 13–24% in multiple animal studies (mice, fruit flies)
- Demonstrated restoration of melatonin secretion patterns in aging subjects
- 30+ years of research by the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology
Storage & Reconstitution
Store at -20°C. Reconstitute with 2 mL bacteriostatic water → 5 mg/mL. Stable 4 weeks at 2–8°C.
Typical protocol: 10–20 day cycles, 2–4× per year. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water.
