Epithalon Clinics in the United States

What Is Epithalon?

Epithalon (also spelled Epitalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) derived from the pineal gland extract Epithalamin. It is one of the most researched anti-aging peptides, with decades of work primarily from Russian researchers.

Epithalon is best known for its ability to activate telomerase, the enzyme responsible for maintaining telomere length. Telomere shortening is a key marker of cellular aging, and epithalon's ability to support telomere length makes it highly relevant to longevity medicine. It also regulates melatonin production, supports immune function, and has demonstrated anti-tumor properties in animal studies.

It is typically administered via subcutaneous injection in periodic courses (e.g. 10-20 day courses twice per year).

What to Expect at a Consultation

Epithalon is typically prescribed as part of a comprehensive longevity protocol. Consultations may include biomarker testing (telomere length, immune markers, hormones) and a full health assessment. Treatment courses are typically 10-20 days administered twice yearly.
