Epithalon

Epitalon · Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly

Epithalon is an experimental tetrapeptide studied in aging research. Cell findings do not demonstrate lifespan extension or rejuvenation in humans.

Peptipedia explains research and prescribing information. It does not replace medical advice and is not an invitation to use a substance.

Research gaps

  • ·No robust clinical anti-aging efficacy
  • ·Epithalamin extracts are not equivalent to pure epithalon
  • ·Insufficient safety and interaction data
