Epithalon 10mg

Epithalon (also known as Epitalon, Epithalone, or the AEDG peptide) is a synthetic tetrapeptide consisting of the amino acid sequence Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly. The peptide was developed by the Khavinson group at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology in Russia as a synthetic analog of the active fragment of epithalamin, a pineal gland polypeptide extract characterized in the 1970s. Epithalon belongs to a class of compounds collectively known as “Khavinson bioregulators” — short peptides derived from organ extracts and proposed to function through tissue-specific gene expression modulation. The compound has been investigated extensively in the Russian academic literature (Khavinson, Anisimov, and colleagues; Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine) for telomerase enzyme expression, telomere length dynamics, pineal gland function, circadian rhythm regulation, and cellular senescence pathways in preclinical research models. Epithalon is studied as one of the most extensively published short-peptide bioregulators in geroscience research.
