Description
Pineal tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) studied for telomerase activity
Epithalon is a synthetic peptide widely studied for its longevity-supporting properties, primarily through its ability to activate telomerase – an enzyme that helps maintain and lengthen telomeres, which play a key role in cellular aging. By promoting telomere stability and healthy cellular replication, Epithalon has been studied for its potential to slow biological aging, enhance cellular performance, and extend lifespan. May help regulate circadian rhythms, support restful sleep, and strengthen immune function. Also linked to improved resistance against oxidative stress and enhanced DNA repair.
