About:
A synthetic tetrapeptide derived from the pineal extract epithalamin, studied in Russian aging research.
What does this peptide do?
Evidence comes from preclinical or laboratory work. Research focuses on aging.
Aging research
Lifespan and aging-biomarker experiments in mice.
Evidence grade
DHighest evidence grade among the graded claims: D. Grades reflect study strength, not benefit.
What are the benefits and side effects of this peptide
What research says it may help with
- Every study we verified is animal or laboratory work: lifespan, tumor and aging biomarker experiments in mice, neuronal recordings after intranasal dosing in rats, and a retinal degeneration model.
Who should avoid it
- People who are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Children and adolescents
- People with a personal history of cancer, where no human safety data has been published
- Known hypersensitivity to peptide preparations
See the safety section. Absence of a flag is not evidence of safety.
A grade reflects evidence strength, not a recommendation to use this compound; a strong grade can attach to a harmful effect.
How to store this peptide
Typically sold as a lyophilized powder. Reconstituted solutions are perishable, need refrigeration, and require clean handling to avoid contamination.
Lyophilized storage
Store at −20 °C, protected from light.
Reconstituted storage
Keep at 2–8 °C and use within a short period. For longer storage, aliquot and freeze at −20 °C.
Storage Handling
Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles. Let the vial reach room temperature before opening.
