How does epitalon work?
It is thought to act on the pineal gland and the body clock. Researchers are interested in whether it switches on telomerase, an enzyme that rebuilds the caps on chromosomes, as the reason for its studied effects on aging and eye damage. This site's review found 13 studies for epitalon, 6 of them in people. They include a study that watched 266 people for 6 to 8 years and a 12 to 15 year comparison in people with heart disease. All come from one research school, and in none of them were people kept from knowing what they got.
