What is Epithalon?
Epithalon (also written Epitalon or Epithalamin) is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) derived from the pineal gland peptide epithalamin. It is one of the most extensively studied longevity peptides, with decades of research originating from Russian scientists, particularly Professor Vladimir Khavinson. Epithalon's most notable studied mechanism involves activation of telomerase, the enzyme responsible for maintaining and elongating telomeres — the protective end-caps of chromosomes associated with cellular aging.
VELTRIDE supplies Epithalon 10mg lyophilized powder with ≥98% HPLC-verified purity and Certificate of Analysis, shipped discreetly across Canada from West Kelowna, BC. Canadian researchers studying aging, telomere biology, circadian regulation, and longevity pathways rely on VELTRIDE for consistent, high-purity supply.
