Epitalon
What is Epitalon?
Epitalon (Epithalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide derived from the pineal gland. It is considered one of the most potent anti-aging peptides due to its ability to activate telomerase and lengthen telomeres.
Mechanism of Action
It activates the telomerase enzyme, which repairs and lengthens telomeres (the protective caps on DNA). It also regulates melatonin secretion and normalizes the neuroendocrine system.
