Epithalon is prescribed after a consultation. It appeals to people taking a long-view, preventive approach to aging and sleep.
Adults focused on healthy aging and longevity
People whose sleep-wake rhythm feels off
Anyone building a preventive, provider-guided plan
A free consultation with our medical team is the place to start.
Epithalon is a short four-amino-acid peptide studied for its relationship to telomerase, the enzyme that maintains the protective caps on the ends of chromosomes, and to the body’s circadian rhythm and melatonin production. Research interest sits in the longevity and healthy-aging space. It is a research peptide, prescription-only.
Telomere maintenance and cellular aging research
Circadian-rhythm and sleep-wake regulation
Melatonin production and restful sleep
General healthy-aging and longevity interest
Epithalon is a four-amino-acid peptide first modeled on an extract of the pineal gland. Most of the research is in cells and animals, and the human studies are small.
Epithalon is not FDA-approved for any use. These studies don’t show that it treats any condition in people, and safety data in people are limited. Your free consultation with a nurse practitioner is the place to talk through what is and isn’t known.
Most peptides are not FDA-approved for the uses discussed publicly, and are prescribed at the discretion of a licensed provider after an individual evaluation. A peptide is not appropriate for everyone, and individual results vary.
Peptide therapy at Cienega Medical is available by prescription only. You start with a consultation with one of our nurse practitioners, who reviews your health history, your goals, and whether a peptide is appropriate for you. If it is, they write the prescription and we prepare it for your visit. If it is not, they will tell you that too.
Epithalon (also written epitalon) is a synthetic four-amino-acid peptide, developed as a version of epithalamin, a substance originally derived from the pineal gland. It has been studied mainly in aging biology and circadian-rhythm research, and it remains an active area of study. At Cienega it is available by prescription only, after a consultation with our medical team.
Epithalon is a synthetic peptide built from four amino acids, studied in relation to aging and circadian rhythm. The research shows less than the internet suggests: most published work comes from one research group in Russia and has not been broadly replicated by independent labs. A blend bottle pairing Epithalon with GHK-Cu is also available, and your nurse practitioner can talk through whether either fits at your free consultation.
No. Epithalon is not approved by the FDA for any use. It is prescribed at the discretion of a licensed provider following an individual evaluation.
Epithalon is not right for everyone. Your nurse practitioner reviews your health history, current medications and existing conditions before prescribing, and will tell you if it is not a fit. Bring your current medication list to your free consultation.
Bottle prices are listed on this page. Every order includes one medication review fee, which covers the review and managing your prescriptions, and is charged once even when prescriptions go out as separate orders the same day. The consultation itself is free.
Pick a time for a free telehealth visit with a nurse practitioner, by phone or video. Before your visit, you fill out a short health form. They go through your health history, your current medications and what you are trying to achieve, then tell you whether this is a sensible fit. Not everyone is, and if you are, they write the prescription and you pay for your bottles plus one medication review fee.
Your prescription is filled by a licensed U.S. 503A compounding pharmacy.
That depends on what your provider prescribes, so it is not something we can put a number on here. Your nurse practitioner tells you at your review roughly how long a bottle should last for you and when it would make sense to order again. You can order as many bottles as your nurse prescribes while you’re on the call, and when you need more, book another call online or call us. Each call where you order adds one $49 medication review. Nothing renews on its own. If you’d like bottles sent on a regular schedule, ask your nurse: it’s worked out case by case, since everyone’s prescription is different.
Both. Collect at West Hollywood, Santa Monica or Calabasas, where we pack it for you and show you how to inject it, all covered by the medication review fee. Or we ship it to your home anywhere in California, at no extra charge.
