Comparativa detallada: Epitalon vs Pinealon →
Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide with the sequence Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly, designed as a shortened synthetic version of epithalamin, a pineal gland extract studied in the Soviet gerontological school.
Its development is attributed to Vladimir Khavinson's group in Saint Petersburg, as part of a line of work on peptide bioregulators and aging that began in the 1980s.
In terms of chemical identity, it is classified as Bioregulatory tetrapeptide, its CAS number is 307297-39-8, its molecular weight is 390.35 g/mol. These identifiers are what allow the material received to be checked against the batch Certificate of Analysis.
Also known as: Synthetic Epithalamin · Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly tetrapeptide.
The central hypothesis of the available literature is the modulation of telomerase activity and, through that route, of telomere length in cell cultures. Effects on melatonin secretion and circadian rhythms in animal models have also been reported.
Route used in the studies: Subcutaneous (SC) or intramuscular. It is given for documentation purposes, to interpret the literature; it is not an instruction for use.
This is a compound where caution about the quality of the evidence must be explicit. The literature is highly concentrated in a single research group and in a publication tradition with reporting standards different from today's; independent replication is scarce.
The relationship between telomerase activity and longevity is also an open question in the biology of aging, not an established fact, and it should not be presented as such.
It is not approved in any country. It was placed in Category 2 of the 503A list on September 29, 2023 and reviewed by the FDA advisory committee on July 24, 2026.
Reference: Literature on peptide bioregulators (Khavinson and colleagues).
The following lines appear in the preclinical literature. They are listed for scientific reference only: they are not indications, efficacy claims or suggestions for use.
The vial is delivered lyophilized, that is, as a dry powder obtained by freeze-drying. In that form it is stable and does not require a cold chain during transport: shipping does not compromise the material. On receipt, it is kept refrigerated between 2 and 8 °C, protected from light.
For the Epitalon strengths, a reference reconstitution would be: el vial de 50 mg with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water queda a 25 mg/mL. The volume is not fixed — more water gives a more dilute solution with a larger measuring margin; less water concentrates it — and the choice depends on the working protocol.
The diluent is added slowly along the wall of the vial, never directly onto the powder, and left to rest for five to ten minutes. The vial is swirled gently until fully dissolved; shaking it hard subjects the peptide to mechanical stress that can denature it. Once reconstituted, it is kept refrigerated and is not frozen.
Bacteriostatic water contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative, which allows multiple draws from the same vial. Plain sterile water has no preservative and is only suitable for immediate use. Signs of degradation to watch for: cloudy solution, visible particles, change in color or odor.
No. It is sold exclusively as a research-use-only (RUO) reagent, labeled as not fit for human consumption. It has no COFEPRIS sanitary registration and no approval from any other agency for human or veterinary use.
Every batch comes with a Certificate of Analysis issued by an independent laboratory, with the HPLC chromatogram, the purity percentage, the batch number and the date of analysis. It is included in the price and you can download it from the product page and from your account.
Shipping is express, 1 to 3 business days depending on the area, with a tracking number, to all 32 states. Since it is a domestic shipment sent from within Mexico, it does not go through customs: there are no holds or import procedures.
