The Science of Epithalon

Epithalon is a four-amino-acid peptide modeled on epithalamin, a compound produced by the pineal gland. The pineal gland regulates melatonin and the body's sleep-wake rhythm, and its output declines with age.

In research, epithalon has been studied for two effects. The first is on telomerase, the enzyme that maintains telomeres, the protective caps on the ends of chromosomes that shorten each time a cell divides. The second is on melatonin rhythm, which supports sleep and circadian regulation.
