What it is
A synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) developed in Russia based on a sequence isolated from the pineal gland.
How it works
Hypothesized in preclinical studies to influence telomerase activity and circadian regulation, though human pharmacokinetics are poorly characterized.
Where it's used
Studied in Russian research literature for effects on aging biomarkers; not approved as a drug outside that context.
Regulatory status
Not FDA-approved; research compound.
Reconstitution
Supplied as a lyophilized powder requiring reconstitution with bacteriostatic water prior to use.
Do the math once, not every pin. The
reconstitution calculator converts vial mg +
bacteriostatic water into exact syringe units for any target dose.
Tracking it
Epitalon is injectable, so two things matter in a log: when you dosed and where. Rotating sites and writing both down prevents the classic “did I already pin the left side?” problem.
