What is Epitalon Peptide?

Epitalon (a.k.a. Epithalon, Epithalone) is a synthetic tetrapeptide (i.e., four amino acids long) that is derived from the naturally-produced peptide known as Epithalamin.

Epithalamin is naturally produced in the pineal gland and was first discovered when it was extracted from calves.

It was discovered in the 1980s by Russian scientist Vladmir Anisimov, who specializes in the field of gerontology (i.e. the study of aging in elderly individuals).

However, the man who truly brought Epitalon to the limelight was Dr. Vladmir Khavinson, who was working at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology at the time.

His research showed that Epitalon has the special ability to get inside cells. Once inside, it can reach all the way to your DNAโ€”your body’s instruction manual.

When it connects with your DNA, it can help turn “on” genes that keep your cells healthy and living longer, helping them work like they did when you were younger.

It was part of his larger decades-long research project into the field of peptide bioregulators:

โ€œThe theory proposed by Professor Khavinson is based on the underlying assumption that changes in gene expression result in decreased protein synthesis, eventually leading to aging and the development of diseases.

Stimulation of peptide production through use of โ€œpeptide bioregulatorsโ€ is designed to affect a specific organ, system or condition in the body, using a highly specific short chain peptide to act as a shortcut to initiate protein synthesis and increase organ function.

โ€œโ€ฆ peptide bioregulators โ€“ first discovered and researched in the 1980s by professor Khavinson โ€“ are based on the premise that each body organ uses a very specific peptide that acts like a gene switch, triggering or โ€œregulatingโ€ a biological reserve. When isolated from individual organs and glands, these specific peptides stimulate protein synthesis of the tissues they are derived from.โ€

(If you want to see his IMPRESSIVE CV and all the work he has done, his official website is here)

Khavinson was also the scientist who was responsible for numerous patents pertaining to the use of Epitalon, and it has been approved for general use in Russia since 1990.

What makes Epitalon truly special is its remarkable ability to help your body work better at a fundamental level.

As you age, it helps maintain two crucial systems in your body: your hormone system (neuroendocrine system) and your natural defense system (immune system).ย 

Both these systems typically slow down, but Epitalon helps keep them running smoothly.

What Does Epitalon Do?

At its core, Epitalon works by influencing your body’s aging process at the cellular level. Itโ€™s like clicking a reset button for your cells’ biological clock.ย 

When you take Epitalon, it triggers a chain of events in your body.

It activates telomerase, an enzyme that helps rebuild and protect the telomeres (protective caps on your DNA).ย 

As you age, these telomeres naturally get shorter, which can lead to cellular aging and decline. Epitalon essentially helps your cells stay “younger” and healthier for longer by helping maintain telomere length.

But that’s not allโ€”Epitalon also helps regulate your body’s natural melatonin production, supports antioxidant activity, and maintains proper cellular function across multiple systems.

Epitalon Peptide Benefits

Despite Epitalonโ€™s long history of nearly 40 years, only 122 search results appeared on PubMed between 2000 and 2021.

This is because the majority of the studies are written in Russian and published in journals, which arenโ€™t always accessible in North Americaโ€™s medical databases.

As such, we have a limited number of translated studies to critically examine Epitalonโ€™s effects on animals and humans.

But donโ€™t let this deter you because youโ€™re about to discover why Epitalon is commonly referred to as the โ€œFountain of Youthโ€!

Lengthens Your Telomeres

This is by and far the most important benefit of Epitalon, as itโ€™s the only treatment in existence that is verifiably proven to extend the length of your telomeres.

If you look at the cell culture studies, the results are consistent:

โ€œThese results indicate that in human somatic cells Epithalon can induce the expression of telomerase enzyme component, telomerase activity, and telomere elongation (by on average 33.3%). Hence, we for the firsts time demonstrated induction of telomerase activity with a peptideโ€ (Source)ย 

“Addition of Epithalon peptide in telomerase-negative human fetal fibroblast culture induced expression of the catalytical subunit, enzymatic activity of telomerase, and telomere elongation, which can be due to reactivation of telomerase gene in somatic cells and indicates the possibility of prolonging life span of a cell population and of the whole organism.” (Source)

I canโ€™t personally attest to this effect through my own experience, but one private client of mine had this to say after running a single treatment of Epitalon:

โ€œI took a test on 6/17/2019 to see how long my telomeres were. 0.89, 34th percentile. At 51 years old, I was totally bummed out to hear my cellsโ€™ actual age was 59 (7 years older than my biological age)

On August 15, I started a week-long protocol of Epithalon. I took a 15 mg bottle and diluted it in 2.1 mL of bacteriostatic water. Did a subcutaneous injection of 70 units 3 times per day for 7 days straight.

I got re-tested on 10/01/2019, and the results were fucking amazing. Telomere length was 1.07, 83rd percentile. Now, the age of my cells is 36. Thatโ€™s 23 years shaved off in such a short amount of time.

I also improved my time for running a mile from 9:27 (a few weeks before Epithalon) to 7:11 (a few weeks after Epithalon) without changing anything in my training or diet.

I do feel more energetic for sure. Not nearly as tired as usual, my workouts have improved, cardio and endurance have gone way up.

This shit is the real deal. Take care and thanks for all you do.โ€

Another worthwhile testimonial is the YouTube video below, created by the same gentleman whose video you saw earlier in this article:

But what exactly happens when your telomeres get longer? Your DNA stays better protected, allowing your cells to divide more times while staying healthy.

A study published in the Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine worked with human lung cells (specifically, fibroblasts) from a developing fetus.

Normally, these cells can only divide about 34 times before they stop completely (scientists call this the Hayflick limit).

When they added Epitalon to aging cells, the cells’ telomeres (those protective caps on your DNA) grew back to the same length they had when the cells were young.

These treated cells even divided 44 times – 10 more divisions than normal! In simple terms, Epitalon helped these cells live and function way beyond their normal lifespan.

Unlike other compounds that claim to affect telomeres, Epitalon is the only one that has consistent results in multiple lab studies.

May Extend Your Lifespan

If Epitalon has the ability to increase telomerase activity and elongate our telomeres, then by extension, it should lead to some measurable difference in lifespan.

This is indeed the case, as demonstrated in several animal studies:

โ€œThe geroprotector activity of epitalon, a synthetic tetrapeptide Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly, was studied on the Drosophila melanogaster wild strain Canton-S. The substance was added to the culture medium only at the developmental stage (from egg to larva)โ€ฆ Epitalon significantly increased the lifespan (LS) of imagoes by 11-16% when applied at unprecedented low concentrations-from 0.001 x 10(-6) to 5 x 10(-6) wt.% of culture medium for males and from 0.01 x 10(-6) to 0.1 x 10(-6) wt.% of culture medium for femalesโ€ (Source)

โ€œEpitalon did not influence food consumption, body weight, or mean life span of mice. However, it slowed down the age-related switching-off of estrous function and decreased the frequency of chromosome aberrations in bone marrow cells (by 17.1%, P<0.05).

It also increased by 13.3% the life span of the last 10% of the survivors (P<0.01) and by 12.3% the maximum life span in comparison with the control group. We also found that treatment with Epitalon did not influence total spontaneous tumor incidence, but inhibited the development of leukemia (6.0-fold), as compared with the control group.โ€ (Source)

โ€œ[Epitalon] failed to modify the food consumption and physical strength of mice, and was followed by the increase in the body weight, mean survival (by 5.3%, P<0.05) and maximum (by 10 months), by slow down of the aging of estrus function, by the decrease in body temperature, physical activity, free radical processes and spontaneous tumor incidence (mainly, lung adenomas) in mice.โ€ (Source)

Ready to have your mind blown?

In human clinical trials performed by Russian scientists, Epitalon led to a noticeably different outcome in overall survival and mortality amongst the elderly:

โ€œOver three years, 39 coronary patients received, in addition to basic therapy, regular courses of epithalamin (peptide drug), while 40 coronary patients (control group) received basic therapy alone. Long-term treatment with epithalamin (6 courses over 3 years) decelerated aging of the cardiovascular system, prevented age-associated impairment of physical endurance, normalized circadian rhythm of melatonin production and carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.

A significantly lower mortality in the group of patients treated with epithalamin in parallel with basic therapy also indicated a geroprotective effect of the peptide preparation from the pineal gland.โ€

The reduction in mortality is even greater when Epitalon is combined with Thymalin:

โ€œโ€ฆ 2.0-2.1-fold [reduction] among the Thymalin-treated patients, 1.6-1.8-foldโ€“in the Epithalamin-treated group, and 2.5-foldโ€“in the patients treated with Thymalin combined with Epithalamin, as compared to the control group.

A separate group of patients was treated with Thymalin combined with Epithalamin annually for 6 years. We registered a 4.1-fold mortality decrease in this group as compared to the control level.โ€

Keep in mind that the above 6-8 year study was done on 266 senior adults over the age of sixty, which should tell you about powerful Epitalon can be in increasing human lifespan.

What’s particularly fascinating about Epitalon’s effects on lifespan is how it works at multiple levels in your body.

Beyond the telomere lengthening we discussed, it helps regulate your circadian rhythms and hormone production.

The Russian studies are especially noteworthy because they followed patients for over 15 years – longer than most clinical trials.

The results showed that Epitalon didn’t just help people live longer; it helped them maintain better health throughout those extra years.

Patients showed improved cardiovascular function, better hormone balance, and enhanced physical endurance well into their later years.

I have no idea when the American sickcare system will ever give Epitalon a fair shot, but for the sake of humanity, I sure hope the time comes soon.

Improves Sleep Quality

Another awesome health benefit of Epitalon is the ability to improve your sleep, primarily through restoring optimal melatonin production:

โ€œEpitalon was proven to significantly stimulate melatonin synthesis in senescent monkeys in the evening, thereby normalizing the circadian rhythm of cortisol secretion.โ€ (Source)

โ€œAdministration of pineal peptidesโ€“epithalamin (at the dose 5 mg/animal/day intramuscularly during 10 consecutive days) or epitalon (at the dose 10 micrograms/animal/day intramuscularly during 7-10 consecutive days) induced a significant increase in the night plasma melatonin in old monkeys.โ€ (Source)

This use of Epitalon is directly endorsed by world-class peptide physician Dr. Heather Smith-Fernandez, who has personally used it for herself and her clients for better sleep at night:

โ€œItโ€™s one of the true antiaging peptides, in my opinion, and it promotes better sleep, healthier sleep, much healthier sleep, and when itโ€™s used in combination with certain other peptides, you get a synergistic effect. Literally, people can feel their brain getting younger when theyโ€™re using epitalon regularly.โ€

And in case you were wonderingโ€ฆ yes, lowered melatonin production at an older age can be highly detrimental:

โ€œThere are several reports of an extension of lifespan of both vertebrate and invertebrate animals treated with melatonin, suggesting that this agent has effects on the general systemic metabolism rather than acting on a single organ.โ€

โ€œโ€ฆ Some of the general changes associated with brain aging in the absence of clinical disease include memory deficits, cerebral arterial thinning, and deposition of lipofuscin and amyloid plaques. All of these changes may be partially prevented by extended melatonin treatment. Melatonin can restore the ability of the aging brain to respond to an inflammatory stimulus.โ€

But there’s more to the sleep story than just melatonin production. Epitalon helps synchronize your entire circadian rhythm system – your body’s internal 24-hour clock.

While I’ve explored several effective peptides for sleep, Epitalon stands out for its unique approach. Multiple studies show it can help you fall asleep faster and experience more restorative deep sleep phases.

This means you’re not just getting more sleep; you’re getting better quality sleep. When your sleep improves, your body better regulates stress hormones, particularly cortisol.

This helps explain why many Epitalon users report feeling more resilient to stress and having more stable energy levels throughout the day.

So, if youโ€™re looking for something to help you fall asleep faster at night, Epitalon might be the hidden key!

Supports Reproductive Health and Fertility

Epitalon seems to have an exciting impact on reproductive health, especially for women interested in fertility.ย 

A 2022 study in Aging revealed that Epitalon helps protect eggs from aging-related damage. When researchers added Epitalon to aging eggs in the lab, they saw impressive results.

At a 0.1mM dose, they significantly reduced what scientists call “reactive oxygen species”โ€”think of these as tiny troublemakers that can damage eggs, just like rust damages metal.

The study also showed that Epitalon helps maintain your eggs’ internal structure in several ways:

  • It keeps your egg cells’ scaffolding (what scientists call the spindle structure) strong and properly organized.
  • It protects important cellular components called cortical granules, crucial for successful fertilization.
  • It helps your eggs’ energy factories (mitochondria) stay healthy and efficient.
  • It significantly reduces the chances of your eggs going through premature cell death.

For women thinking about having children, especially later in life, this is particularly exciting.

The research showed that eggs treated with Epitalon had a much lower fragmentation rateโ€”dropping from 13% to just 5.8%.

That means your eggs stay healthier for longer, which could mean better chances for a successful pregnancy.

Enhances Vision and Eye Health

Your eyes might thank you for using Epitalon! Research led by Khavinson’s team revealed that this peptide has remarkable effects on eye health.ย 

In a study published in Neuro Endocrinology Letters, they found that Epitalon improved the condition of the retina (the part of your eye that processes light) in patients with retinitis pigmentosa – a genetic condition causing vision loss.

Epitalon doesn’t just stop further damage – it actually helps maintain the structural integrity of your retina.ย

Powerful Antioxidant Effects

While many supplements claim antioxidant properties, Epitalon stands out uniquely.

It’s actually more powerful than melatonin, which was previously thought to be your body’s strongest natural antioxidant!

Typical antioxidant supplements just temporarily fight damage, whereas Epitalon works like a master switch in your body.

Studies in the Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics (2007) showed that Epitalon helps your body produce its own antioxidant enzymes more effectively.

It helps you produce your own protective compounds in three important ways:

  • Directly fights harmful molecules called reactive oxygen species (ROS) – think of these as rust in your cells
  • Triggers your body to make more superoxide dismutase (SOD) – your cells’ natural cleanup compound
  • Boosts production of ceruloplasmin and other protective enzymes – your body’s antioxidant enhancers

Epitalon can also do something most other antioxidants can’tโ€”it can bind to iron particles (Fe2+) that often damage cells.

The researchers found that this protection system works especially well in the blood, liver, and brainโ€”three crucial areas where you want to prevent age-related damage.

This might explain why Epitalon has such powerful anti-aging effects throughout the body.

Unexplored Health Benefits

Sadly, there are some major uses of Epitalon that have been understudied in its nearly 40-year history.

But I believe they should be investigated further, as it would open our eyes to the many more routes through which Epitalon exerts its anti-aging effects.

Some of of the most interesting explorations of Epitalon include:

This hasn’t stopped people from claiming they’ve experienced other unexpected benefits of using Epitalon, such as:

I don’t think there’s anything else out there like Epitalon, and it’s a shame this revolution medical breakthrough doesn’t get any more attention in the world at large.

Epitalon Dosage

Just like MOTS-C, there doesn’t appear to be a universal consensus on the dosing regimen for Epitalon.

Nevertheless, there are several options for you to choose from, and I’m confident each of them will add many more years of healthy living to your lifespan…

The Khavinson protocol, according to Ben Greenfield: 10 mg of Epitalon injected subcutaneously 3 times a week for 3 weeks straight, done once a year

An alternative Russian dosing protocol, according to Dr. William Seeds in his book Peptide Protocols, Volume 1:ย 10 mg of Epitalon injected intramuscularly every day for 10 days, done once every year for a total of two years.

The Ukrainian approach according to the International Peptide Society: 10 mg of Epitalon injected intramuscularly every THIRD day until you reach 50 mg total, done once every six months for a total of 3 years.

Dr. Heather Smith-Fernandez: 1 mg of Epitalon injected subcutaneously every night.

(NOTE: Epitalon MUST be administered via either injection method, as an oral formulation would break down the peptide in the digestive tract and prevent it from entering the bloodstream. IN FACT, most peptides ONLY WORK if injected for the very same reasons. If your Doctor is selling you oral peptides, FIND ANOTHER DOCTOR.)

People seem to be varied as to WHEN to take Epitalon – some users insist on taking it before bed to improve sleep, while others swear on a morning injection for more energy throughout the day

And while other users claim Epitalon is equally effective if taken orally or nasally, I would personally choose to stick with the tried and true of localized subQ injections.

But as you can already tell, Epitalon is one of those unique peptides where a very short protocol “takes care of the results” for a very long period of time.

This means Epitalon can be used intermittently alongside other scheduled peptide therapies.

It can be given as a stand-alone therapy twice a year to stop cellular senescence from taking place, or as a starting therapy to assist DNA repair and up-regulate anti-oxidant production.

However… due to its long-term anti-aging effects, be ready for the possibility that you won’t “notice” anything when taking Epitalon.

One bodybuilding forum writer on ProfessionalMuscle.com says it best:

“By itself, it’s whatย didn’t happenย that should matter with this stuff. It keeps the telomeres young, but that by itself doesn’t guarantee that the body is suddenly gonna go through an error correction program.

Otherwise, there is no single “thing” that’s gonna reverse aging. Are you kidding me? Some of those people are nuts…but there may be a few for whom this is exactly what they need in order to induce noticeable results.

Otherwise, Epithalon is just a part of a larger solution involving complex processes.”

It is indeed possible to experience some of the short-term benefits described in the prior section of this article, but don’t bet all your life savings on it.

How to Take Epitalon Safely

Safety should be your top priority while administering Epitalon. Since 99% of peptide products on the market are fraudulent, you must be extra careful with your sourcing and administration.

This peptide has shown an excellent safety profile in research, but you should follow several crucial steps to ensure safe and effective use:

  • Source high-quality, research-grade Epitalon from a reputable supplier.
  • Follow clinical guidelines for reconstitution, dosing, injection, and storage.
  • Start with lower therapeutic doses and increase cautiously under medical supervision.
  • Limit treatment to 10-day courses no more than twice yearly.
  • Rotate injection sites and watch for signs of infection or irritation.
  • Consult your healthcare provider before using if you are pregnant, nursing, or on medication.

Epitalon Side Effects and Safety

If you look at all of the available clinical data in both humans and animals, you won’t find any reported side effects of Epitalon.

Likewise, anecdotal reports from biohackers do not appear to present any serious adverse effects.

The only notable side effects I can truly think of are the redness and itching you may experience at the site of injection.

You may not “feel” any benefits upon taking Epitalon, but that’s only because its anti-aging effects are not immediate in nature.

To add to this point, many users advise Epitalon to be reserved for older individuals (think 40+ years old) as younger adults might not get what they’re looking for from this peptide.

Truthfully, the only real fear behind using Epitalon is a mere possibility of increased cancer risk:

“… in the case of cancer, too much telomerase can be just as bad as too little telomeres. Too much telomerase can help confer immortality onto cancer cells and actually increase the likelihood of cancer, whereas too little telomerase can also increase cancer by depleting the healthy regenerative potential of the body”

However, a quick look at the literature refutes and debunks this notion wholeheartedly.

“Long-term exposure to Epitalon in small doses did not show any toxic effect. Treatment with Epitalon decreased the number of tumor-bearing mice with malignant tumors and prevented the development of metastases. Spontaneous tumors of the reproductive organs (mammary glands and ovaries) were predominant in both groups of mice (control and experimental)” (Source)

“Mitotic activity of tumor cells was significantly inhibited by Epitalon when the treatment was given throughout the experiment. In parallel, a high level of apoptosis [cell death] was seen in the same group. Thus, the strongest inhibitory effect of Epitalon on carcinogenesis in the colon mucosa was manifested when the treatment was continued throughout the experiment.” (Source)

In short, Epitalon’s powerful anti-cancer properties disprove the notion that increasing telomerase activity necessarily leads to increased tumor development.

NOTE: Many bioregulator peptides such as Epitalon come from Russia, where their research and patents are very closed off to the outside world (i.e. Western medicine).

This forum discussion provides a great insight as to the differences regarding the philosophy of medical care in America and Russia.

All supposed effects are speculative until we can do our own clinical trials on human subjects and get FDA approval for human consumption. Bioregulators like Epitalon are NOT cheap, but the risks associated with using them are low.

Where to Buy Epitalon

Due to its current status as a research chemical, Epitalon is quite difficult to find.

And the very few peptide suppliers that exist tend to offer a version of Epitalon that is impure and often full of harmful contaminants.

Image of a vial labeled "Epitalon 100mg" with purchase options ranging from $75 to $129.

However, Limitless Life Nootropics is the ONLY vendor I would trust with the synthesis, manufacturing, and distribution of Epitalon.

NOTE:ย Limitless Life Nootropics also offers an “upgraded” version of Epitalon known as N-Acetyl Epitalon Amidate (NAEA):ย 

Vial of N-Acetyl Epitalon Amidate 5mg with pricing options, a search icon, and an 'Add to Cart' button.

It is generally accepted that adding the additional acetyl and amidate groups to a peptide molecule leads to enhancements such as better metabolic stability, lasting longer in serum (i.e. blood) due to resistance against enzymatic breakdown, and an easier time passing through lipid membranes (such as the blood-brain barrier).

For this reason, it is believed that NAEA is a more potent and effective version of Epitalon.

I have never used or tried this variant of Epitalon, so it’s up to you to decide if you want to use it, how to use it, and the most effective dose to take.

But in the meantime, you should get started by reading some of the following discussions:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Let’s address some common questions about Epitalon peptide:

How Often Should I Take the Epitalon Dose?

For anti-aging purposes, clinical studies used short 10-day treatment courses of Epitalon peptide, with doses given one to two times daily.ย 

Courses can be repeated up to twice yearly, with at least a 4-month gap between cycles.

What Makes the Epitalon Peptide Unique Among Other Peptides?

Unlike most peptides studied for anti-aging activity, Epitalon specifically targets telomeraseโ€”an enzyme that rebuilds telomeres to restore cell division and counteract biological aging.ย 

This novel mechanism of action gives Epitalon unmatched potential in longevity research.

I recently had a podcast discussion with anti-aging expert Ryan Smith about why biological age is more important than chronological age.

As Ryan explained, biological ageโ€”as measured by telomere length and other biomarkersโ€”gives a much more accurate picture of your body’s true age.

Epitalon helps reduce your biological age by preserving telomeres and cellular health so you function more youthfully!

How Does Epitalon Dosing Vary Between Individuals?

Dosing considerations include:

  • Age and overall health status
  • Genetics and lifestyle
  • Treatment goals
  • Previous peptide experience
  • Individual response to treatment
  • Existing medical conditions

Your healthcare provider can help determine an appropriate regimen tailored to your needs and goals.

Are There Any Reputable Brands for Epitalon Supplement?
