Epitalon (Epithalon)

What is Epitalon (Epithalon)?

Epitalon, also called Epithalon or AEDG, is a synthetic four-amino-acid peptide modeled after epithalamin, a pineal-gland peptide extract from the Russian bioregulator tradition. Its core claim is unusual: a short peptide cycle may influence telomerase, telomere length, melatonin rhythm, and age-related neuroendocrine decline. Khavinson 2003 reported telomerase activity and telomere elongation in cultured human somatic cells, while Al-dulaimi 2025 independently found telomere-length extension in normal epithelial and fibroblast cells and in breast-cancer cell lines.
