Epithalon (Epitalon)
Epithalon, also known as Epitalon or Epithalamin, is a short synthetic peptide derived from the natural compound Epithalamin. It is recognized for its ability to activate telomerase, the enzyme responsible for maintaining and protecting telomeres—the protective caps at the ends of DNA strands.
By supporting telomerase activity, Epithalon promotes cellular longevity, DNA protection, and healthy aging. Research also highlights its potential benefits for melatonin regulation, immune system balance, and skin rejuvenation.
🔬 Molecular Structure
Sequence: Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly
Molecular Formula: C₁₄H₂₂N₄O₉
Molecular Weight: 390.35 g/mol
Form: Lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder for maximum stability
Research Overview
1. Telomerase Activation & Cellular Longevity
Epithalon has been shown to enhance telomerase activity, helping preserve chromosome integrity and slow cellular aging. By maintaining telomere length, cells stay functional longer, supporting tissue regeneration and vitality.
2. DNA Regulation & Repair
Studies suggest Epithalon influences gene expression involved in DNA repair and stability, helping protect the body’s genetic material from oxidative stress and promoting long-term cellular health.
3. Skin Health & Collagen Production
Epithalon stimulates fibroblast activity, enhancing the production of collagen and elastin—proteins essential for youthful, firm skin. Animal studies demonstrated up to a 30–45% increase in fibroblast activation, improving skin texture and repair.
4. Immune System Support
Epithalon helps regulate immune function by interacting with genes such as CD5, IL-2, and MMP2, which are key to immune cell communication and recovery. This supports a balanced immune response and faster healing from oxidative or environmental stress.
5. Melatonin & Sleep Regulation
Epithalon supports natural melatonin production in the pineal gland, helping restore circadian rhythm balance and improve sleep quality, energy levels, and overall well-being.
6. Eye & Retinal Support
In studies involving retinal degeneration, Epithalon supported retinal structure and visual function, helping maintain healthy vision by protecting retinal cells from oxidative damage.
Form & Stability
All Peptide Labs peptides are produced with 99%+ purity and lyophilized to preserve potency and stability.
Unmixed (Freeze-Dried): Stable for 3–4 months at room temperature, up to 2 years at −20°C, and over 5 years at −80°C.
After Reconstitution: Store in the refrigerator (2–8°C / 36–46°F) and use within 30 days for optimal results.
Storage & Stability Instructions 🧬
All Peptide Labs products are manufactured using a lyophilization (freeze-drying) process to ensure maximum stability and purity. This method allows peptides to remain 100% stable for up to 3–4 months during shipping and storage at room temperature.
Once reconstituted (mixed with bacteriostatic water), peptides must be stored in the refrigerator to maintain potency and freshness. After reconstitution, peptides remain stable for up to 30 days when properly refrigerated.
What is Lyophilization?
Lyophilization is a specialized dehydration technique where peptides are frozen and exposed to low pressure, causing water to sublimate directly from solid to vapor. This process leaves behind a stable, crystalline white powder that preserves the integrity of the peptide until it’s mixed with bacteriostatic water.
Short-Term Storage:
Store at room temperature if used within a few weeks.
Keep peptides cool, dry, and protected from light.
For short-term storage (days to weeks), refrigeration at under 4 °C (39 °F) is recommended.
Long-Term Storage:
For longer preservation (several months to years), store peptides in a freezer at −80 °C (−112 °F). This ensures maximum stability and prevents degradation over time. (DO NOT RECONSTITUTE)
