What Epitalon is
Epitalon is a four-amino-acid peptide derived from epithalamin, a pineal gland extract studied in Eastern European gerontology literature.
Research context
Reported study areas include telomerase activity, circadian and melatonin regulation, and longevity endpoints in animal models.
Handling in the laboratory
Supplied as a 10mg research vial.
Concentration reference
Working concentration is determined solely by the solvent volume added to the vial. The Lucent Life reconstitution calculator converts vial strength and solvent volume into mg/mL and U-100 syringe units. It performs unit math only and does not recommend any dosing, administration, or frequency.
