Epithalon 10 mg — Research Consultation
Epithalon (also Epitalon, Epitalone) is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) developed by V. Kh. Khavinson at the St Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology. It is the synthetic analogue of epithalamin, an endogenous pineal-gland peptide. The published research base spans telomerase-activity studies, circadian-rhythm research, and animal-research longevity protocols.
What Epithalon is
Epithalon is a four-amino-acid synthetic peptide modelled on a fraction isolated from bovine pineal extract. The Khavinson bioregulator framework hypothesises that short peptides bind specific DNA promoter regions and modulate the transcription of organ-specific gene clusters; Epithalon's proposed target is pineal-related gene expression.
What the published literature covers
Russian and translated research describes Epithalon effects on telomerase activity in human cell lines, melatonin secretion patterns, age-related mortality in rodent longevity-research studies, and circadian-rhythm restoration in aged subjects. The literature is heavily concentrated in Khavinson-group publications; independent replication is more limited than for mainstream peptides.
Quality verification
Lyophilised Epithalon manufactured under ICH Q7 GMP standards, with independent HPLC verification at a US-based third-party laboratory. Peak-area purity ≥98% against pharmacopoeia reference standards. COA available through the in-chat consultation.
Common research questions
- Is Epithalon legal in the UAE?
- Epithalon is classified as a research compound in the UAE and is sold through standard wellness-supply channels with VAT compliance applied to every dispatch.
- What dose ranges does the published research describe?
- Russian clinical research and the grey-research community typically describe 10 mg cycles administered subcutaneously over 10-20 consecutive days, twice yearly. Total annual exposure is low relative to many research peptides.
- Is the telomerase claim well-established?
- Cell-culture studies from the Khavinson group report telomerase upregulation. Independent replication is limited. Researchers should treat the telomerase mechanism as plausible-but-incompletely-validated and consult the primary literature directly.
- Why so-called bioregulators?
- Khavinson developed a class of short peptides hypothesised to function as transcription-modulating signals to organ-specific gene clusters. Epithalon (pineal), Thymalin (thymus), Cartalax (cartilage) and others belong to this research framework. The hypothesis is well-developed within Khavinson publications but is not mainstream-accepted outside that group.
- How is purity verified?
- HPLC peak-area purity (≥98%) at a US-based third-party laboratory. COA available through the chat.
- Shelf life and storage?
- Lyophilised powder is ambient-temperature stable in transit; -20°C long-term storage; refrigerated post-reconstitution per the supplied protocol.
- How fast is delivery in the UAE?
- Same-day delivery within Dubai, next-business-day across the rest of the UAE.
