Epithalon

Epithalon, also spelled Epitalon or Epithalone, is a four-amino-acid research peptide. It is best known in research on cellular aging, telomeres, telomerase, gene activity, oxidative stress, and the body's daily sleep-wake rhythm. Telomeres are protective ends on chromosomes, and telomerase is an enzyme involved in maintaining them. Published cell research has examined whether Epithalon can affect telomerase activity and telomere length. This has made Epithalon a well-known compound in longevity-focused research, especially for scientists studying how cells age and how gene activity changes over time.
