What Is Epithalon?
Epithalon, also written epitalon, is a synthetic peptide made of four amino acids joined in sequence. It was developed as a synthetic version of epithalamin, a substance originally extracted from the pineal gland, and it has been studied mainly in the context of aging biology and circadian rhythm. Most of the published research on Epithalon comes from a single research group in Russia and has not been widely replicated by independent laboratories elsewhere. It is not approved by the FDA for any use.
