Epithalon

Telomerase-activating peptide used in longevity protocols.

Cyclic subcutaneous protocol
Physician-supervised

Overview

Epithalon is a tetrapeptide with data in Russian gerontology literature suggesting telomerase activation and pineal-axis support. Used in longevity practice for cellular aging.

Key benefits

  • Telomerase activation (per preclinical/clinical data)
  • Sleep and circadian support
  • Complement to NAD+ protocols

How it works

Subcutaneous injection nightly for 10–20 day cycles, repeated 2–4× per year.

Mechanism

Proposed telomerase activation and pineal modulation supporting circadian rhythm and cellular longevity.

Who is this for

  • Longevity patients 40+
  • Sleep and circadian optimization
  • NAD+ stack complement

Considerations & safety

Not FDA approved. Coordinate carefully in patients with cancer history.
