Description
Epithalon (Epitalon) – 10 mg Dosage Protocol
Epithalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) derived from the naturally occurring Epithalamin, produced by the pineal gland. It is studied for its role in telomerase activation, cellular longevity, and regulation of circadian rhythms. Epithalon may support healthy aging, improved sleep quality, and cellular repair without directly influencing growth hormone or IGF-1 pathways.
Research suggests Epithalon may contribute to telomere length maintenance, antioxidant activity, and improved biological function over time.
This educational protocol outlines a cycle-based subcutaneous or intramuscular approach using a practical dilution for accurate dosing.
Reconstitute:
Add 2.0 mL bacteriostatic water → ~5 mg/mL (5000 mcg/mL) concentration (based on a 10 mg vial)
Typical Protocol (Cycle-Based):
- Daily Dose: 5–10 mg per day
- Cycle Duration: 10–20 days
- Frequency: 1–2 times per year (commonly used in longevity protocols)
Easy Measuring:
At 5 mg/mL,
- 1 unit = 0.01 mL ≈ 50 mcg on a U-100 insulin syringe
Example:
- 5 mg dose ≈ 100 units (1 mL)
- 10 mg dose ≈ 200 units (2 mL total; may require split injections)
Administration:
- Subcutaneous or intramuscular injection
- Often administered in the evening to align with circadian rhythm support
- Split dosing may be used for higher daily amounts
Storage:
- Lyophilized: Store at −20 °C (−4 °F)
- After reconstitution: Refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F)
- Protect from light and avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles
Note:
Epithalon is commonly researched for anti-aging, sleep regulation, immune support, and cellular longevity. Due to its cycle-based usage, it is often incorporated into structured longevity protocols rather than continuous daily use.
