Epithalamin — Pineal Peptide for Melatonin Regulation & Telomerase Activation
Epitalon (also known as Epithalamin) is a synthetic tetrapeptide derived from the pineal gland. It is studied for its ability to stimulate telomerase activity, regulate melatonin production, and support circadian rhythm integrity — making it one of the most discussed anti-aging peptides.
Activates telomerase enzyme to maintain telomere length in dividing cells. Regulates pineal gland function and melatonin secretion, supporting the body's natural sleep-wake cycle and antioxidant defense pathways.
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Starting Dose | 5 mg daily before bed |
| Moderate Dose | 10 mg daily before bed |
| High Dose | 15 mg daily before bed |
| Route | Subcutaneous injection, 30 minutes before bed |
| Cycle Protocol | 10–20 days on, then equal time off |
Cycling Required
Epitalon must be cycled: 10–20 days on, followed by an equivalent period off. Continuous use is not recommended.
Research Note
While preclinical data on telomerase activation is compelling, large-scale human trials are still needed. Monitor for excessive grogginess and adjust dose accordingly.
