Epithalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) developed by Russian scientist Vladimir Khavinson at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology. It mimics the active core of epithalamin, a natural pineal peptide. In preclinical models, it has been studied for its interaction with telomerase and telomere maintenance pathways. Widely investigated in Russia for over 30 years in the context of gerontology and oncology research, it remains a subject of interest for pineal gland and geroprotective studies. According to a 2025 review published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Epitalon demonstrates significant geroprotective and neuroendocrine effects in preclinical research (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). This research-grade lyophilised powder is synthesised under strict quality controls and provided with full analytical documentation.
