What Epithalon Is Studied For
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.

What Is Epithalon?
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.
