Epitalon (Epithalon)
A profile on the "Fountain of Youth" peptide, capable of lengthening telomeres and resetting the biological clock.
Epitalon (Epithalon)
Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) based on a natural peptide extract from the pineal gland called Epithalamin. It was discovered by Russian scientist Professor Vladimir Khavinson.
It is widely regarded as the premier anti-aging peptide. Research suggests it can lengthen telomeres (the protective caps on DNA that shorten with age) and reset the body's circadian rhythms.
Quick Specs
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Active Compound | Epitalon |
| Half-Life | Short |
| Mechanism | Telomerase Activation / Pineal Gland Modulation |
| Administration | Subcutaneous (SubQ) |
Mechanism of Action
- Telomerase Activation: It induces the production of telomerase enzyme, which repairs and lengthens telomeres. Longer telomeres are associated with younger biological age and reduced disease risk.
- Circadian Reset: It restores the sensitivity of the hypothalamus to hormonal signals, regulating melatonin production and normalizing sleep/wake cycles.
Pharmacokinetics & Dosing
There are two common protocols for Epitalon:
1. The Russian (Khavinson) Protocol
Designed for maximum medical impact, usually done twice a year.
- Dosage: 10mg per day.
- Duration: 10 days straight.
- Total: 100mg per cycle.
- Frequency: Every 6-12 months.
2. The Biohacker Protocol
Designed for maintenance.
- Dosage: 100mcg - 500mcg per day.
- Frequency: Daily (Pre-bed).
Primary Effects
1. Life Extension
In animal studies, Epitalon extended lifespan by up to 30% and reduced spontaneous tumor incidence.
2. Sleep Restoration
Deeply resets the circadian rhythm, often curing chronic insomnia or jet lag issues.
3. Skin & Energy
Users report improved skin texture and general vitality after a full course.
Side Effects & Harm Reduction
Safety Profile:
Benign: Epitalon is incredibly safe. No significant adverse side effects have been reported in decades of Russian clinical use.
1. Cost
The 100mg Khavinson protocol is expensive. Ensure you are buying from a reputable source, as underdosed product is common.
Tracking Epitalon
Using the Anabolic Tracker app:
- Inventory: Add Epitalon.
- Scheduling: Daily (set a 10-day end date if using Khavinson protocol).
- Metrics: Track Sleep Quality.
