Epithalon is a peptide popular in longevity circles. Here's an honest, physician-directed overview of the science and the limits.
Quick answer: Epithalon (epitalon) is a synthetic peptide studied mainly in limited research for effects related to the telomere enzyme telomerase and aging. The human evidence is sparse and it is not FDA-approved. A physician can separate the real science from the longevity hype.
