What exactly is Epithalon, and why do research programs pick the 10mg tier?
Epithalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide with the sequence Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly, originally derived from bovine pineal extracts and studied in pre-clinical models for telomerase-activity modulation and pineal-axis regulation. The 10mg per vial tier is the standard research size — enough mass for multi-cycle longevity-model protocols after reconstitution without leaving excess material sitting reconstituted past its 30-day window.
What does this specific lot’s CoA cover?
Every Epithalon lot is independently assayed by reverse-phase HPLC for purity and by mass-spectrometry for identity confirmation against the theoretical mass of the four-residue sequence. Lot-specific certificates of analysis are being catalogued and will be publicly listed on the product page as they come online.
How do I reconstitute a 10mg Epithalon vial?
- Wipe the stopper with an alcohol swab and let the alcohol evaporate.
- Draw 1 to 2 mL of bacteriostatic water into a sterile syringe.
- Angle the needle so the diluent runs down the vial wall rather than striking the cake.
- Swirl gently until the solution clarifies. Epithalon is a small tetrapeptide and dissolves readily; do not shake.
- Cap and store the reconstituted vial at 2 to 8 °C for up to 30 days.
Why is 10mg per vial standard for Epithalon research?
Epithalon protocols in the literature typically cycle over multiple weeks with pulsed administration schedules rather than continuous exposure, which suits a mid-size vial well: 10mg supplies enough working solution for a full cycle without forcing extra reconstitution steps mid-experiment. Larger tiers exist for scaled programs but are rarely necessary for entry-level longevity-model work.
How does Epithalon compare with other longevity-axis peptides?
Epithalon is a pineal-derived tetrapeptide studied for telomerase-related endpoints; SS-31 by contrast is a mitochondrial-targeted peptide studied for cardiolipin binding on the inner membrane. The two are frequently paired in longevity screens because they touch orthogonal axes — one nuclear-telomere-adjacent, the other mitochondrial — and can be run in parallel arms of the same protocol without mechanistic overlap.
