Epitalon

Status

No approved product. No approved product. All published work traces to a small body of animal and cell studies, largely from one research lineage.

What it is

A synthetic tetrapeptide modelled on the pineal peptide epithalamin, studied for telomerase activity in cell cultures. The jump from 'lengthened telomeres in cell studies' to any human outcome claim is the whole distance between research and marketing.
