Epithalon (Epitalon)

Epithalon (Epitalon/Epithalone) is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) based on the natural pineal gland peptide Epithalamin. Developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson, it has been extensively researched for its ability to activate telomerase, the enzyme responsible for maintaining telomere length—a key biomarker of cellular aging.
