Epithalamin
Epithalamin is a natural peptide extract from the pineal gland. It is the precursor compound from which the synthetic Epitalon was derived. Known for anti-aging and telomerase-activating properties.
Mechanism of Action
Similar to Epitalon, it stimulates telomerase production and may help maintain telomere length. Also regulates melatonin synthesis and circadian rhythms.

Typical Dosage (Research)
Research dosing: 10-20mg daily for 10-20 day cycles. Often administered 1-3 times per year in long-term protocols.
Intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. Natural extract may have more variable composition than synthetic Epitalon.
Considerations for Men & Women
Women: Pineal peptide preparation related to Epitalon. May affect melatonin production and circadian rhythm. Some Russian research suggests potential benefits for menopause-related symptoms, though data is limited.
Men: Same longevity and pineal support research interest. No sex-specific dosing. Short cycling protocols apply equally.
Individual responses vary. These notes reflect general trends from research literature and are not medical advice.

Side Effects & Risks
Generally well-tolerated. May affect sleep patterns. Less characterized than synthetic Epitalon.
Being a natural extract, composition may vary between batches. Long-term effects of telomerase activation not fully understood.
Who Uses Epithalamin
Anti-aging researchers, longevity enthusiasts, those preferring natural over synthetic compounds.
