Epitalon

Uncommon card · No. 180803

Epitalon is a synthetic peptide, telomerase activator, and putative anti-aging compound, which was identified as the putative active component of a bovine pineal gland extract known as epithalamin. Most studies on epitalon and epithalamin have been conducted by the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology, primarily overseen by Vladimir Khavinson, in Russia, though in recent years research using epitalon has started to be conducted elsewhere, focusing mainly on its ability to extend telomere length.
