Overview

A synthetic tetrapeptide studied in aging research.

Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide first identified as the active component of bovine pineal gland extract. It is studied for its interaction with telomerase activity and its role in normalizing circadian secretion patterns, making it a frequently cited compound in cellular aging research.

Suria's Epitalon is synthesized to high purity and independently verified prior to release, supporting consistent results across cellular senescence and circadian-rhythm research models.
