Research Overview
Epithalon (also known as Epitalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) first identified by Professor Vladimir Khavinson at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology. It is the synthetic analog of Epithalamin, a natural polypeptide extracted from the bovine pineal gland.
Key Research Areas
1. Telomere Elongation & Anti-Aging
Epithalon has been studied extensively for its ability to activate telomerase, the enzyme responsible for maintaining and elongating telomeres.
- Khavinson et al. (2003) — Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine: Demonstrated that Epithalon stimulated telomerase activity in human somatic cells, leading to telomere elongation and extended cell lifespan in vitro.
- Vinyuskiy et al. (2002): Showed increased proliferative activity of human fetal fibroblasts and reduced signs of cellular aging.
2. Neuroendocrine Regulation
- Anisimov et al. (2001) — Mechanisms of Ageing and Development: Found that Epithalon suppressed age-related changes in the reproductive system of female rats, suggesting normalization of neuroendocrine function.
- Khavinson & Morozov (2003): Reported stimulation of melatonin production in older subjects in preclinical studies.
3. Antioxidant Activity
- Khavinson et al. (2002): Demonstrated a reduction in malondialdehyde levels (a marker of oxidative stress) in Epithalon-treated animals compared to controls.
4. Oncology Research
- Anisimov et al. (2003): Reported that Epithalon inhibited the development of spontaneous mammary tumors in transgenic mice and increased lifespan.
- Popovich et al. (2003): Found anticancer effects in rodent models of colon and breast cancer.
5. Longevity Studies
- Khavinson et al. (2012): A long-term study on elderly patients (15+ years) treated periodically with Epithalon showed a statistically significant reduction in mortality compared to controls.
Summary
| Study Focus | Key Finding | |---|---| | Telomerase activation | Elongation of telomeres in somatic cells | | Neuroendocrine function | Normalization of melatonin and hormonal cycles | | Antioxidant effects | Reduction in oxidative stress biomarkers | | Oncology | Inhibition of tumor growth in rodent models | | Longevity | Reduced mortality in long-term human observations |

Customer Reviews
Exceptional purity. Our telomere research has never been more reproducible. Bausch is our go-to supplier.
Arrived cold-packed with a clean CoA. Purity verified independently at 99.3%.
We use this for aging research. Every batch has been consistent. Will continue ordering.
Great product, good purity certificate. Shipping was a bit slow this time but peptide quality is top tier.
Best Epithalon source we've found. Our telomerase assays are running smoothly.
Solid supplier. Purity consistently above spec. Will be ordering again next quarter.
Our pineal function studies have been going great with this grade. Highly recommend.
Very reliable. Dissolved cleanly and HPLC trace looked perfect.
Outstanding quality. We compared three suppliers and Bausch came out on top every time.
Fast, discreet packaging and research-grade purity. Exactly what we needed for our gerontology lab.
Reordered three times now. Always consistent. Great service too.
Quality is there. Would appreciate more detailed COA breakdowns but overall very satisfied.
Our antioxidant activity studies confirmed the peptide's biological potency. Exceptional batch.
14th order. Never been let down. Bausch Pharma is the most reliable peptide source we've used.
