Frequently Bought Together
Epithalon (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) is a synthetic tetrapeptide developed at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology, studied for its capacity to activate telomerase, regulate pineal gland function, and extend cellular lifespan markers in both animal and human research. Cellular aging has a measurement. It is the length of your telomeres, the protective caps on every strand of DNA in every cell you have. They shorten with each division, and shorter telomeres correlate with accelerated biological aging across virtually every marker researchers have examined. Epithalon is the synthetic form of Epithalamin, a natural polypeptide your pineal gland produces. A gland that begins declining in output in your 20s and approaches near-total suppression by your 60s. Professor Vladimir Khavinson and his team at the St. Petersburg Institute spent 35 years producing more longevity-focused clinical data on this compound than almost any peptide in the field. Research has shown Epithalon to activate telomerase in somatic cells, the enzyme that rebuilds telomere length. Investigators have also examined its role in restoring melatonin secretion, normalizing circadian rhythms that drift with age, and recalibrating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Animal studies observed meaningful lifespan extension. Human studies recorded telomere elongation in peripheral blood cells. What the research describes, in aggregate, is a compound that interacts with the core machinery of biological aging at multiple levels simultaneously. For researchers studying longevity mechanisms, that is a rare profile.

Epithalon— Specifications & Quality Standards
Certificate of Analysis: What We Test
HPLC Purity Analysis
Every batch of Epithalon is run through High-Performance Liquid Chromatography. The chromatogram confirms purity percentage and identifies any impurity peaks. Our minimum standard is ≥98%; flagship compounds test at ≥99%.
Mass Spectrometry (MS)
Mass spec confirms the molecular weight of Epithalon matches the theoretical value exactly. This verifies the compound identity, confirming it is not a substitute or mislabeled product.
Endotoxin Screening
Endotoxin testing ensures the compound is free from bacterial contamination. Combined with HPLC purity and MS identity confirmation, this is the full three-point verification used by accredited research labs.

Epithalon: Frequently Asked Questions
What is Epithalon?
Epithalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology. It is studied for its ability to activate telomerase, the enzyme responsible for maintaining telomere length, and for its regulatory effects on the pineal gland and melatonin production.
What does Epithalon do in research?
Research has examined Epithalon for telomerase activation in somatic cells, telomere elongation in peripheral blood lymphocytes, normalization of melatonin secretion, and recalibration of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.
How is Epithalon stored?
Epithalon should be stored at -20°C in lyophilized form. Once reconstituted, the solution is stable at 4°C for up to 14 days when kept away from light and moisture.
What is the difference between Epithalon and Epithalamin?
Epithalamin is a natural polypeptide extract from the bovine pineal gland. Epithalon is the synthetic tetrapeptide analog of Epithalamin's active sequence (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly), developed to replicate and isolate its bioregulatory activity.
Is Epithalon for human use?
No. Epithalon from Blackwell BioLabs is sold strictly for laboratory and research purposes. It is not approved for human consumption or therapeutic use.
