Epitalon

Epitalon (epithalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) modelled on the pineal peptide epithalamin, studied for telomerase activity, circadian regulation and cellular-aging pathways. Supplied lyophilised for laboratory research use only.

Why does the vial look empty?
That’s normal. The peptide is supplied lyophilised (freeze-dried) — often a thin film or a few milligrams at the base of the vial, easy to mistake for empty. It’s all there; reconstitute with bacteriostatic water before use.
Research handling note
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water and store the lyophilised vial at −20 °C until use; once reconstituted, refrigerate and use within the documented window.

Epitalon — research profile

For research purposes only — not for human consumption

Epitalon (also written epithalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide — Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly — designed as a short, defined analogue of epithalamin, a peptide complex isolated from the pineal gland. It is one of the most-cited peptides in longevity and cellular-aging research.

Research reports that Epitalon can induce telomerase activity and telomere elongation in cultured human cells, and that it interacts with the pineal–circadian system — the basis of its interest in cellular-senescence and biological-rhythm models.

How it’s studied

  • Telomerase: induction of telomerase activity and telomere length in somatic-cell models.
  • Circadian regulation: pineal and melatonin-rhythm pathways.
  • Gene expression: modulation of age-associated gene panels.
  • Cellular senescence: replicative-aging models in culture.

Verifiability

Batch Testing & COA

Every production batch is sent for independent, third-party analysis at Janoshik Analytical. When results return, the full Certificate of Analysis for the exact batch you receive is published here and in our COA library, carrying its SHA-256 checksum and the lot number printed on your vial, so you can confirm the document is genuine and untampered. We publish every certificate, including any that fail.
