Epitalon
Also known as Epithalon, Epithalamin analogue, AEDG
Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide, alanine-glutamic acid-aspartic acid-glycine, designed in Russia to mimic epithalamin, an extract of the pineal gland. Almost all of its research comes from one group in St Petersburg. It is not an approved medicine anywhere.

What it has been studied for
- Telomerase activity in human cell cultures
- Lifespan and tumour incidence in rodents
- Melatonin rhythms in small, older Russian human studies
Evidence level: Animal studies only. Results in animals or cells often fail to carry over to people.
What happened in human trials
The human studies come almost entirely from one Russian research group and were not set up to measure side effects. There is no independent safety data.
Prohibited in drug-tested sport under the World Anti-Doping Code.
UK legal status
Not licensed as a medicine in the UK. Sold as a research chemical only.
Handling
Supplied as a lyophilised powder. Reconstituted with bacteriostatic water and refrigerated once mixed. Commonly 10mg or 50mg per vial.
Questions
Does Epitalon lengthen telomeres in people?
That has not been shown in controlled human trials. The telomerase findings come from cell cultures, and the lifespan findings come from rodents, mostly from a single research group without independent replication.
