Epitalon
Research compoundaka Epithalon, Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly
Russian longevity tetrapeptide. Big claims about telomerase, a small evidence base.
Mechanism
A four-amino-acid peptide studied mostly in Russian labs for telomerase activity and for nudging the pineal gland and your melatonin and circadian rhythm. The sleep effect is the part people actually report noticing.
Regulatory & Safety Status
Not approved. The human evidence is thin and mostly from small Russian studies, so take the anti-aging claims with salt.
