Epitalon Therapy
A synthetic tetrapeptide marketed as a telomerase-activating 'anti-aging' peptide claimed to lengthen telomeres, regulate melatonin/circadian rhythm and extend lifespan.
A synthetic tetrapeptide marketed as a telomerase-activating 'anti-aging' peptide claimed to lengthen telomeres, regulate melatonin/circadian rhythm and extend lifespan. Sold as short injectable courses, sometimes 1-2 times yearly.
Evidence
Lifespan and telomere claims rest on small, dated Russian studies and animal data that have not been independently replicated in rigorous human trials, so the longevity claim is unproven.
