Epithalon (Epitalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide studied for its potential effects on aging, sleep regulation, and cellular longevity. It has been researched for supporting melatonin production and improving circadian rhythm, particularly in aging populations.
Mechanistically, Epithalon is thought to influence gene expression related to telomerase activity, an enzyme that helps maintain telomere length on chromosomes. By supporting telomere preservation, it may promote cellular stability and delay aspects of cellular aging. It also appears to act on the pineal gland, helping regulate melatonin secretion, which can impact sleep quality, oxidative stress, and overall neuroendocrine function.
