Are epitalon and epithalon the same peptide?
Yes. These are two spellings of the same compound. Both mean the lab-made four amino acid peptide from the pineal gland, studied for longevity, telomeres (the protective caps on chromosomes), and the body clock. This site lists it as Epitalon, with Epithalon as another name. Either spelling means the exact same molecule and the same evidence.
