What Epitalon is

Epitalon is a synthetic four-amino-acid peptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) designed from the amino acid composition of epithalamin, an extract of the bovine pineal gland. It comes from the same Russian bioregulator programme as several other peptides on this site. Twenty-five years of published work is in cells, animals and computer models; there is no human trial among the papers linked here.
