Peptide

Epithalon

The telomere guardian

Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide that stimulates telomerase production, potentially slowing cellular aging. Based on the Epithalamin extract from the pineal gland.

Mechanisms

Telomerase activation
Melatonin regulation
Antioxidant enhancement
Circadian rhythm support

Dosing

Typical dose

5–10mg

Timing

Cycle 10-20 days with equivalent breaks. Evening administration preferred.

Synergies

FOXO4-DRI

Epithalon and FOXO4-DRI both target cellular aging through different mechanisms
