✱ Overview
What is Epithalon?
Epithalon (also spelled epitalon) is a synthetic four-amino-acid peptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) modeled on a pineal gland extract. Most published research comes from a small number of laboratories.
It is discussed in longevity circles for telomere-related and circadian hypotheses. Independent, high-quality human trials are lacking.
✱ Mechanism
How it works
Laboratory studies have reported that epithalon may influence telomerase activity in cultured cells and affect melatonin secretion patterns in older animals.
These findings are hypotheses about mechanism. They have not been confirmed in large, independent human studies.
✱ Key research areas
What the science says — and how sure it is.
01
Aging biology
Preliminary findings
Telomere shortening is one of several hallmarks of aging and an active research field.
02
Circadian rhythms
Experimental hypothesis
Animal studies report changes in melatonin rhythms. Human relevance is unknown.
03
Telomere-related research
Experimental hypothesis
Cell-culture reports of telomerase activation have not been widely replicated.
04
Experimental longevity hypotheses
Experimental hypothesis
Rodent lifespan reports come from limited sources and have not been independently confirmed.
