Epithalon

What is Epithalon?

Epithalon is a synthetic peptide composed of four amino acids, formally known as a tetrapeptide. It was developed in the 19080s by researchers at the St Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology and has demonstrated the ability to elongate telomeres in human somatic cells.
Due to epithalon’s proven ability to induce telomerase activity and suppress CCI11 and HMGB1 genes, with the effect of increasing the lifespan of human somatic cells, many researchers view it as an antiaging compound.

Epithalon Longevity Benefits

  • Animal studies have demonstrated that Epithalon can increase longevity in animals and prolong the integrity of the eye retina in rats, while human clinical trials have found that Epithalon offers anti-aging effects in elderly human test subjects 
  • Long-term studies that were published in 2003, a research team observed that both thymalin and epithalamin offers geoprotective effects and may prolong human life. 
  • Researchers observed 1.6-1.8 fold decreased mortality rate in the epithalamin-treated group as well as decreased rates of: 
    • Coronary Artery Disease
    • Hypertension
    • Osteoarthritis
    • Osteoporosis
Epithalon and Sleep Enhancement
Epithalon has demonstrated an ability to enhance sleep in test subjects. A 2007 Russian study demonstrated that Epithalon normalized the hormone circadian rhythm in elderly human subjects and modulated the functional state of the pineal gland. The authors stated that the peptide had the effect of increasing melatonin concentration in the test subjects which contributed to the enhanced control of the sleep-wake cycle .

Epithalon exhibited anti-cancer effects in both animal and human test subjects. A 2007 study by Vinogradova, the peptide was found to significantly inhibited the development of tumors in female rats exposed to a standardized about of natural light.

Epithalon is used to treat hormone-dependent tumors in Russia as well as menopause-related symptoms and anovulatory infertility.

Epitalon peptide has been shown through research to enhance the immune response in multiple ways, with one example being its ability to restore thymus function. By doing so, this compound can increase the production of naive T-cells that are crucial for fighting off new infections. This revitalization process helps create a more harmonious and efficient system for combating illnesses while simultaneously decreasing the risk of immune-related ailments.
