Is epitalon the same as pinealon?
No. They are different short peptides from the same Khavinson research school. Epitalon (also spelled epithalon) is a lab-made four-amino-acid peptide based on one from the pineal gland. It is studied for longevity, telomeres, and the body clock. Its record includes a study that watched 266 people for 6 to 8 years and a 12 to 15 year comparison in people with heart disease. All of it comes from one research group, and in none of it were people kept from knowing what they got. Pinealon is a different three-amino-acid peptide, Glu-Asp-Arg, with a molecular weight of 418.4 daltons, studied for protecting the brain. This site's review found one study in people: a 32-person Russian study of biological-age markers with Vesugen, not repeated by anyone else. Coming from the same research school does not make them the same molecule. Full records at /compounds/epitalon and /compounds/pinealon.
