What is epitalon peptide?
Epitalon is a lab-made peptide, four amino acids long, based on a peptide from the pineal gland (a small gland in the brain that helps set the body clock). It is studied for longevity, telomeres (the protective caps on the ends of chromosomes), the body clock, and eye damage in the retina. It has more data in people than its online reputation suggests. That includes 266 older people watched for 6 to 8 years, and a 12 to 15 year comparison in people with heart disease. But almost all of it comes from one research group, and in none of it were people kept from knowing what they got.
