Epitalon
Investigational pineal tetrapeptide (telomere/telomerase research) · Pre-filled pen
Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide studied for a proposed association with telomerase activity and telomere maintenance, mechanisms central to cellular ageing. Laboratory and small clinical studies, mostly from a single research tradition, have explored effects on cell-cycle and circadian markers. The overall human evidence is limited and not confirmed by large, independent controlled trials.
Studied use areas
- Telomere-maintenance and telomerase signalling (research interest)
- Cellular ageing and genomic-stability markers
- Cell-cycle and renewal regulation (investigational)
- Circadian rhythm and restorative sleep quality (exploratory)
- General healthy-ageing frameworks
Safety & status
- Investigational peptide without robust long-term human safety data; use only under physician supervision
- Not approved as a medicine by EMA or MHRA
- Claims about 'reversing ageing' or extending lifespan are unproven and should be treated with caution
⚕ Clinical note: This is educational information only and not medical advice. Epitalon is investigational; any use should be individualised and determined by a treating physician under appropriate supervision.
Evidence: Grade C — investigational; some small human observational studies plus preclinical data, but no large independent controlled trials. · References: Peer-reviewed telomere-biology and telomerase literature; Khavinson pineal-peptide research publications; EMA/MHRA guidance on investigational substances
