Epithalon 10 mg (also called Epitalon or Epithalamin) is a synthetic research compound (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) derived from epithalamin, a natural extract of the pineal gland, supplied for laboratory research only. It was developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson.
Key Research Areas
- Telomerase: Studied for its effect on telomerase activity and telomere length in cell culture models.
- Pineal and circadian biology: Examined in relation to melatonin regulation and circadian rhythm signalling.
- Cellular ageing: Studied in models of oxidative stress, mitochondrial function and gene expression.
- Format: Lyophilised (freeze-dried) powder, 10 mg per vial.
Research Background
Research on Epithalon is largely preclinical or from limited studies, and findings should not be extrapolated to humans. It is a research compound and is not approved for therapeutic use in Australia.
Storage
Store the lyophilised powder in a cool, dark place, or refrigerate at 2°C to 8°C. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, keep chilled and use within the recommended laboratory timeframe.
For laboratory and research purposes only. Not for human consumption, medical use, or veterinary use.
