What is Epitalon?
Epitalon is a synthetic peptide derived from epithalamin, a natural substance produced in the pineal gland. It is primarily studied for its potential anti-aging effects, ability to regulate the sleep-wake cycle, and role in promoting cellular repair. Epitalon may also stimulate telomerase activity, which can enhance DNA repair and cellular longevity.
Epitalon is typically administered via subcutaneous injection or as an oral or nasal formulation in experimental and therapeutic settings.
