Epithalon Frequently Asked Questions

Epithalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) derived from Epithalamin, a polypeptide naturally produced by the pineal gland. It was first identified by Professor Vladimir Khavinson at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology. Peptides Pharma Epithalon is formulated at >99% purity in a lyophilized vial.

Research suggests Epithalon activates telomerase, the enzyme responsible for maintaining and elongating telomeres — the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes. Telomere shortening is associated with cellular aging, and telomerase activation may help preserve telomere length. Studies also indicate Epithalon may influence melatonin production and circadian rhythm regulation.

Epithalon is studied in research related to telomere biology, cellular senescence, longevity, circadian rhythm regulation, melatonin production, retinal health, and neuroendocrine function. Its telomerase-activating properties make it a central compound in biogerontology research.

Peptides Pharma Epithalon is manufactured to >99% purity in GMP-certified, ISO 7 cleanroom facilities. Each batch is verified by independent HPLC and mass spectrometry testing. Certificates of Analysis are available for every production batch.

Lyophilized Epithalon should be stored at -20°C for long-term storage or at 2-8°C for short-term use. Protect from direct light and moisture. Once reconstituted, store at 2-8°C and use within 28 days for optimal stability.

Reconstitute Epithalon by adding bacteriostatic water slowly down the inside wall of the vial. Allow the lyophilized powder to dissolve without shaking — gently swirl if needed. Calculate your desired concentration based on the volume of water added and the peptide content of the vial.

Reconstituted Epithalon stored at 2-8°C with bacteriostatic water is generally stable for up to 28 days. Use sterile technique when accessing the vial to prevent microbial contamination and maintain the integrity of the solution.

Yes. Peptides Pharma Epithalon is supplied exclusively for laboratory and research purposes. It is not approved as a medicine by any regulatory authority and is not intended for human therapeutic use. Researchers should comply with all applicable regulations.

Epithalon is sometimes studied alongside other anti-aging compounds such as GHK-Cu and NAD+ in longevity research protocols. Its telomerase-focused mechanism complements compounds acting through antioxidant, mitochondrial, or growth factor pathways. Protocol design should be guided by published research.

Peptides Pharma ships Epithalon in lyophilized form with cold-chain packaging to preserve stability. Orders include tracked delivery to ensure the product reaches researchers in optimal condition for laboratory use.
