Epitalon
Also known as Epithalon, AEDG peptide
Synthetic four-amino-acid peptide researched for anti-aging effects.
What people use it for
- Longevity and anti-aging (popular use)
- Sleep and circadian rhythm (research)
What Epitalon does in the body
Modelled on epithalamin, an extract of the pineal gland. Laboratory studies report effects on telomerase activity and melatonin production, though how this translates to people is unclear.
Strength of evidence
Weak: mostly cell, animal and small human studies from a single research group.
Look up the evidence
- Reviews on PubMed: Summaries of the published research
- Clinical trials on PubMed: Published studies in people
- ClinicalTrials.gov: Registered trials, past and ongoing
