Epitalon

Epitalon is a tetrapeptide derived from epithalamin, a peptide produced by the pineal gland. It has been the subject of research spanning several decades, with literature examining its role in regulating the neuroendocrine system and its effects on cellular aging. One of its most cited areas of interest is its studied ability to activate telomerase, an enzyme involved in telomere maintenance, which has positioned it prominently in longevity and cellular aging research. Additional literature has examined its effects on melatonin regulation, antioxidant enzyme activity, and circadian rhythm modulation, making Epitalon one of the more comprehensively studied peptides in the cellular aging space.
