About Epithalon
Epithalon is believed to activate telomerase, the enzyme responsible for maintaining telomere length, with several in vitro and animal studies reporting telomere elongation. It also appears to regulate the expression of p53 and other cell-cycle control genes, modulate the hypothalamic-pituitary axis via pineal gland activity, and upregulate antioxidant defences including superoxide dismutase and catalase.
About Glutathione
Master endogenous antioxidant tripeptide; neutralizes ROS, regenerates vitamins C and E, supports phase II liver detoxification, maintains intracellular redox balance

Epithalon
No established clinical contraindications. This is an investigational compound with limited human data and has not been evaluated by the FDA for safety in this context. Consult a qualified clinician.
Glutathione
No established clinical contraindications
Epithalon
GHK-Cu
Research suggests Epithalon and GHK-Cu may produce complementary longevity-associated effects when combined. Epithalon is studied for telomere maintenance and pineal function, while GHK-Cu is studied for antioxidant gene expression and tissue remodeling — different mechanisms in aging research.
