Epitalon
Key Takeaways: Epitalon
Epitalon is a Bioregulator peptide primarily researched for:
- Activates telomerase (anti-aging)
- Restores melatonin production
- Improves sleep quality
Research Profile
Epitalon (also known as Epithalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide derived from epithalamin, a natural substance produced in the pineal gland. It is one of the most studied “bioregulators” in longevity research.
Telomerase Activation
The primary mechanism of Epitalon is its ability to trigger the production of telomerase, an enzyme that repairs and lengthens telomeres. This process allows cells to continue dividing, effectively slowing down the cellular aging process.
Circadian Rhythm
By restoring the natural secretion of melatonin, Epitalon helps normalize the sleep-wake cycle, which is essentially the body’s primary repair window. This dual action on DNA and sleep makes it a cornerstone of anti-aging research protocols.
