Epithalon is a tetrapeptide with an extensive published research literature on telomerase modulation and pineal-axis endpoints. Full Kiwi Peps profile inside.
The Epithalon peptide (also spelled Epitalon, sequence Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly / AEDG) is a synthetic tetrapeptide derived from Epithalamin, a pineal-extract preparation studied extensively in Russian research literature during the 1990s–2000s. Published in-vitro work reports telomerase activity modulation and cell-cycle endpoints, making Epithalon a common reference compound in longevity-research panels.
