Epithalamin

Pineal-gland polypeptide extract; predecessor of Epitalon used in Russian gerontology.

Scientific Overview

Epithalamin is a pineal polypeptide extract from calf pineal gland developed in the Soviet Union by Khavinson and Anisimov from the 1970s. Reported to extend lifespan in mice, rats, and Drosophila in long-running St. Petersburg studies. The synthetic tetrapeptide Epitalon (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) was developed as the chemically defined successor.

Key Research Benefits

  • ✓Reported extension of lifespan in Russian rodent studies
  • ✓Melatonin-axis modulation
