Summary
Epithalon (Epitalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) derived from Epithalamin, a natural pineal peptide. Russian research, primarily by Vladimir Khavinson, suggests it activates telomerase, elongates telomeres, and exerts anti-aging effects in cell culture and animal models.
Chromosomes have protective 'caps' called telomeres that shorten every time a cell divides — a key biological clock of aging. Epithalon is studied for its ability to activate telomerase, the enzyme that rebuilds those caps. It's one of the most researched anti-aging peptides in Russian longevity medicine. Most data comes from cell studies and animal experiments; human data is limited but longstanding.
Mechanism of Action↓
Proposed activation of telomerase (TERT) expression in somatic cells, leading to telomere elongation. Also studied for restoration of circadian melatonin rhythms via pineal gland stimulation and antioxidant effects.
Half-life: ~30 minutes (estimated)
Research Dosing Ranges↓
5–10 mg per day
Once daily subcutaneous or intravenous (research)
Russian protocols: 5 mg/day for 10–20 days, repeated 1–2× per year. Some research uses 5 mg/injection × 10 injections.
Reconstitution Guidance↓
BAC water: 1 mL
Resulting concentration: 5 mg/mL (for 5 mg vial)
Add 1 mL BAC water to 5 mg vial. 5 mg dose = 1 mL = entire vial.
Storage & Stability↓
Room temp or refrigerated. Reconstituted: use within 14 days.
Known Side Effects / Contraindications↓
Limited human data. Generally well tolerated in Russian studies. Theoretical telomere extension could be pro-oncogenic in cells with pre-existing DNA damage.

Concentration: 10 mg ÷ 3 mL = 3.33 mg/mL (3333 µg/mL)
Dose needed: 5000 µg = 5.0000 mg
Volume per dose: 5.0000 mg ÷ 3.33 mg/mL = 1.5000 mL
On U-100 syringe: 1500.0 µL = 150.0 units
Total doses in vial: 10 mg ÷ 5.0000 mg = 2.0 doses
