Epitalon

Also known as: Epitalon tetra, Epithalamin, Epithalone, AGAG, Epithalon, Epithalamin peptide, Epithalamin polypeptide, Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly

Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide that has garnered attention for its potential anti-aging properties and various health benefits. Originally developed by Russian scientist Professor Vladimir Khavinson, Epitalon is derived from a naturally occurring peptide called epithalamin, which is produced in the pineal gland. The primary function of Epitalon is to regulate the production of telomerase, an enzyme that plays a crucial role in maintaining the length and integrity of telomeres—protective caps at the ends of chromosomes that naturally shorten as we age. By stimulating telomerase activity, ...
