From the PeptideBase research library. Educational only — not medical advice.
Studied effects
- telomerase activation and telomere elongation in cell research
- melatonin pathway regulation via pineal gland bioregulator mechanism
- antioxidant and anti-aging effects (Khavinson-class tetrapeptide)
- subcutaneous dosing — 10–20 injection courses studied in longevity research
Mechanism
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.
