Epithalon

Structure: Synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly). Mimics the active component of epithalamin, a pineal gland extract studied by Professor Vladimir Khavinson.

Dosage:

• Standard anti-aging protocol: 5mg/day SubQ for 20 consecutive days, repeated every 4-6 months (2 cycles/year)
• Conservative: 5mg/day for 10 days, 2-3 cycles/year
• Alternative: 5-10mg 3x/week for 4-6 weeks

Administration:

• SubQ injection, evening preferred (aligns with melatonin rhythm)
• 27-30g insulin syringe
• Cycled protocol — not for continuous use

Key Notes:

• Primary mechanism: activates telomerase → lengthens telomeres → cellular longevity
• Stimulates nocturnal melatonin secretion from the pineal gland — restores circadian rhythm in aging individuals
• Animal studies (rats): 25% lifespan extension, reduced tumour incidence, improved cardiovascular markers
• 12-year human follow-up study showed reduced cardiovascular mortality in elderly subjects
• Bodybuilding relevance: longevity/health optimisation, improved sleep quality (melatonin), potential anti-cancer protection during long-term PED use
• Very well tolerated — no serious adverse events in published studies
• Cycled protocol (20 days on, months off) is the established approach
• No significant impact on standard blood panels
• Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water, store refrigerated
