Epithalon

What the research on Epithalon has looked at

• Epitalon and telomeres: reported in human cells to lengthen telomeres, the protective caps on the ends of chromosomes, first in 2003 and again in 2025 by a different research group with no shared authors
• Epitalon and aging in mice: a study that followed mice from three months old until they died reported a 12.3% rise in the longest lifespan reached, a 13.3% rise for the longest-lived tenth of the group, and 17.1% less chromosome damage in bone marrow
• Epitalon and cell protection: a 2025 review links the reported effects to protection against damage from reactive oxygen molecules, and to changes in the activity of several enzymes
• Epitalon and epithalamin: epithalamin is the pineal gland extract Epitalon was designed from, and is a mixture rather than a single substance, where Epitalon is the four-amino-acid peptide
