Epitalon

A synthetic tetrapeptide derived from the pineal extract epithalamin, studied in Russian aging research.

What research shows

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. No human trial of Epitalon was verified. Human safety, dosing and efficacy data have not been established in the published literature.

Evidence strength

Highest evidence grade among the graded claims: D. Grades reflect study strength, not benefit.

Safety context

See the safety section. Absence of a flag is not evidence of safety.

No endorsement

A grade reflects evidence strength, not a recommendation to use this compound; a strong grade can attach to a harmful effect.
