What is Epitalon?
Epitalon, also known as Epithalon, is a short, four amino acid synthetic polypeptide derivative of epithalamin that activates the natural production of telomerase enzyme and stimulates melatonin release from the human pineal gland.
Epithalamin peptide in vivo contributes to the regulation of the cell replication and the anterior pituitary gland. Epitalon was discovered by Russian doctor and peptide engineer Vladimir Khavinson at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology and has been studied for over 35 years.
Epitalon is coveted by many anti aging experts and regarded as a potential fountain of youth. Research in mice and rats has shown that Epitalon can improve age related diseases, skin health and appearance, increase resistance to emotional stress, stimulate the production of new cells and rejuvenate muscle cells, and increase lifespan by delaying age-related changes in reproductive and immune systems.
This effect may be greater in individuals who do not have naturally longer telomeres. Preliminary studies have displayed significant effects of Epitalon treatment on certain types of cancerous cells, infections, and DNA regulation.
Epitalon and DNA Protection
Epitalon peptide is shown to exhibit antioxidant activity in the body by aiding in the elimination of free radicals. Evidence from experiments on somatic cells shows that Epitalon protein treatment activates an enzyme called telomerase and stimulates the natural production of telomerase.
Telomere shortening correlates with aging and Telomerase is one of several naturally occurring components that are considered the potential fountain of youth because it may stimulate the production of new cells and rejuvenate old ones.
Telomerase enzyme activation leads directly to an improvement in cell health, longer telomeres, a decrease in errors contained in a strand of DNA, and protection of chromosomes and DNA from damage.
Research also shows that Epitalon interacts directly with DNA to enhance the expression of certain genes specifically regulating the CD5, IL-2, MMP2, and Tram1 genes, and the natural production of telomerase.
Anti-tumor Effects of Epithalon
In rats, Epitalon was able to improve muscle cell health and decrease tumor growth. Synthetic Epitalon Peptide treatment reduced tumor growth, and also prevented metastasis (the spread of cancer). As a result, epithalon peptide is currently under investigation as a potential treatment for Her-2/neu positive breast cancers, leukemia, and testicular cancer.
Epitalon and Sleep Quality
Studies on rats have demonstrated that Epitalon and related peptides impact circadian rhythm through both the creation and discharge of melatonin by affecting two proteins, pCREB transcription protein and arylalkylamine-N-acetyltransferase (AANAT).
These two genes contribute to regular production of melatonin and in the day/night release of melatonin from the pineal gland. Studies done with monkeys suggest that Epitalon peptide therapy brings melatonin release back to normal.
Improvements in circadian regularity and deeper sleep have been known to improve skin health and appearance, stimulate production of new muscle cells, regulate the anterior pituitary gland, increase cell replication, promote resistance to emotional stress and age related diseases.
Deep, restorative sleep is regarded by many health experts as the natural fountain of youth and critical to muscle cell health, the production of new cells, and life extension.
Epitalon Side Effects
Aside from potential injection site inflammation, Epitalone therapy has yet to show significant side effects in human and animal studies however this does not mean that the use of Epitalon peptide is safe. Long term clinical trials are needed to confirm the safety, side effects, clinical significance, and relative efficacy of Epithalon therapy.

Epitalon FAQs
The primary role of Epitalon is to increase the production of telomerase, a natural enzyme that protects and restores telomeres, promoting the replication of DNA and the production of new cells.
Epitalon works with the pineal gland in the brain to form new cells and may increase muscle mass and bone density.
Epitalon was found to restore reproductive function in older rats by restoring the female estrus cycle and increasing plasma testosterone levels by 30% in males.
