Quick answer
What is Epitalon?
Built from index records dated 2026-10-09 to 2026-10-13 Compiled by an automated pipeline, checked by The Peptide Observer editorial desk How this site works
Epitalon is a peptide, grouped on this site under Mitochondrial and longevity-associated peptides, and the 12 research records kept here are 6 from studies in rats or mice and 6 that do not state what kind of study it is.
The literature search returned 66 records. This site keeps 12 of them, which is 18 per cent of what came back.
What it is
This site puts it in the Mitochondrial and longevity-associated peptides group.
A short synthetic peptide; the retrieved records report stimulation of gene expression and, in a human cell model, induction of telomerase activity.[1, 2]
Stated in the titles of the cited 2020 Molecules and 2003 Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine papers.
What kind of records
The records kept here are animal and laboratory studies only.
That sentence is produced by counting, not by reading. What was counted: no interventional human trial record; 6 rodent and 0 in vitro records among 12.
What this does not settle
- What it does in a body. Counting records is not reading them, and nothing here has been read in full.
- Whether it causes harm. No adverse-effect row was taken from any source for this entry.
- How long it lasts. No pharmacokinetics source was retrieved for this entry.
- What the other 54 retrieved records say. They are not in this index.
