Description
Epithalon, a synthetic tetrapeptide, consists of four amino acids: alanine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, and glycine.
Its roots trace back to epithalamin, a natural polypeptide extracted from the pineal gland. The peptide was pioneered in the 1980s by a research team led by Professor Vladimir Khavinson in Russia.
Since its inception, Epithalon has been the subject of numerous studies, both in vitro and in vivo, for its bioregulatory, anti-aging, and immunomodulatory properties.
Epithalon and Its Interaction with Telomerase and Telomeres:
Epithalon has shown to influence the activity of telomerase, a crucial enzyme for cellular health and longevity. Telomerase’s role is to add DNA sequences, known as telomeres, to the ends of chromosomes.
These telomeres act as protective “caps” for chromosomes, shielding them from damage and preventing them from fusing with neighboring chromosomes.
Over time, as cells divide, telomeres shorten. When they become too short, the cell can no longer divide and becomes inactive or dies.
This telomere shortening is linked to aging and many age-related diseases.
By enhancing telomerase activity, Epithalon helps maintain or even extend telomeres.
This “extension” of telomeres could potentially delay cellular aging and prolong their functionality.
Due to these effects, Epithalon has garnered significant interest in the scientific community, especially for its potential applications in anti-aging, life extension, and cancer prevention.
The Advanced Version N-Acetyl Amidate:
The N-Acetyl Amidate version is described as an advanced and improved form of Epithalon.
This variant has outperformed classic Epithalon in terms of efficacy, duration of action, and absorption. Moreover, it can more easily penetrate the blood-brain barrier, amplifying its effects.
Benefits of EPITHALON:
- Telomerase Activity: Stimulates telomerase activity, potentially protecting cells from premature aging.
- Life Extension: By extending telomeres, it may contribute to prolonging cell life, delaying aging.
- Cancer Prevention: Shows potential in inhibiting tumorigenesis, making it a candidate for cancer prevention.
- Sleep Regulation: Can boost melatonin levels, essential for circadian rhythm, thus improving sleep quality and brain health.
- DNA Repair: Might protect against and repair DNA damage due to its potent antioxidant activity.
- Age-Related Disease Prevention: By reducing telomere shortening, it might delay the onset of age-related diseases.
- Brain Health: Increased melatonin levels might shield the brain from oxidative stress, a contributor to neurodegenerative diseases.
- Antioxidant Effects: Demonstrates significant antioxidant effects, potentially protecting cells from free radical damage.
- Immune Function Regulation: Due to its immunomodulatory properties, it might strengthen the immune system.
For effective results, the recommended dosage of EPITHALON is 10mg daily (subcutaneously) for a 10-day cycle, to be repeated twice a year.
