Understand your treatment
Four amino acids, given in courses.
Epitalon grew out of Russian research on epithalamin, a pineal gland extract. Most of what is published is lab and animal work on telomerase and cell aging. HHS covers it as an injection given in courses with breaks, so we sell it one course at a time.

Make a more informed choice
A course vs. a subscription
Most prescriptions here refill automatically. Epitalon does not: each order is one course, and your provider decides if and when you take another.

Short and simple: four amino acids
Alanine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid and glycine. Epitalon was modeled on epithalamin, an extract of the pineal gland.
Studied for telomerase in the lab
In human cells in a dish, epitalon switched on telomerase and lengthened telomeres. Human trials are limited.
Courses, not a forever subscription
HHS covers epitalon given in courses with breaks. Each order is one course. Reorder when your provider says to.
Pharmacy-made, one ingredient
Epitalon acetate, compounded for you by a state-licensed US 503A pharmacy, with a provider review first and a full refund if not prescribed.
About Epitalon
Epitalon, also spelled epithalon, is a synthetic peptide of four amino acids: alanine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid and glycine. It was modeled on epithalamin, a peptide extract of the pineal gland. Most published work is lab and animal research on telomerase and cell aging. Your vial holds epitalon acetate as the only active ingredient, compounded by a US 503A pharmacy.
- A four-amino-acid synthetic peptide
- Epitalon acetate, the only active ingredient
- Given in courses with breaks, as your provider directs
- Prescribed after a US-licensed provider review
Sequence: Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly (HHS Appendix B, 2026).
Epithalamin
a peptide extract of the pineal gland, studied in Russia
Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly
epitalon is a synthetic four-amino-acid peptide based on it
Telomerase
the enzyme it switched on in human cells in a lab study
A tiny synthetic peptide, studied for cell aging in the lab.
What the research shows
Epitalon research is mostly lab and animal work. Here is what the record shows.
