Can Epithalon help with infertility?
Are you and your partner experiencing fertility problems? You are not alone! Infertility affects 10% to 15% of all couples worldwide.
Epithalon (Epitalon) is a safe and effective treatment that could improve your conception chances.
How does it work and could it be the solution to your problem?
Join us as we learn more about this exciting treatment. We’ll find out what it is, and how it’s been helping to keep many people like you healthy while treating infertility.
What causes infertility?
Infertility is when women can’t conceive despite having unprotected sex for at least a year. The CDC reports that about 19% of women (aged 15–49) with no prior births have the problem.
The pregnancy process involves the following vital steps:
- A woman’s body releases an egg from one of her ovaries.
- A man’s sperm fertilizes the egg.
- The fertilized egg goes through a fallopian tube toward the uterus.
- The embryo attaches to the inside of the uterus.
A problem with any or several of these steps leads to infertility, meaning it could lie with men and women. Sometimes, there’s no identifiable cause (unexplained subfertility).
Male infertility
Many factors cause infertility in men, including the following:
- Genetic defects, undescended testicles, and hormone problems can affect sperm count and quality. Infections and enlarged veins in the scrotum can also impact sperm.
- The sperm has problems reaching the female reproductive tract. Premature ejaculation, cystic fibrosis, testicle blockage, or reproductive organ damage are some causes.
- Environmental factors like pesticides, chemicals, or radiation can impact fertility. Medication for infections, hypertension, and depression can also cause infertility.
- Chemotherapy and radiation treatment can affect sperm production.
Female infertility
Women may have infertility issues due to the following factors:
- Ovulation disorders that impede the ovaries from releasing eggs. Hormonal problems may also affect ovulation. Hypothyroidism can impact the menstrual cycle or cause infertility.
- Uterine polyps, the uterus shape, or cervix problems may affect fertility. Other causes include fibroids blocking the fallopian tubes. These benign tumors may also prevent a fertilized egg from attaching to the uterus.
- Damaged or blocked fallopian tube caused by inflammation (salpingitis). The swelling may be due to an infection of the female reproductive organs.
- Autoimmune diseases, genetics, and cancer treatment can cause primary ovarian insufficiency. This occurs when the ovaries stop working and menstrual periods end before age 40.
- Cancer of the reproductive organs and its treatments often reduce female fertility.
Infertility risk factors
Males and females have many similar infertility risk factors, including the following:
- Aging: Women’s fertility drops after the mid-30s due to lower egg production and quality. Health problems may also cause infertility. Men above 40 may be less fertile than those younger.
- Smoking: Tobacco use by men or women could reduce the chances of pregnancy. Fertility treatments may make fertility treatments less effective. Women who smoke may miscarry. Smoking can cause erectile dysfunction and lower sperm count in men.
- Alcohol use: Women shouldn’t consume alcohol when trying to conceive or during pregnancy. Men who drink heavily could experience lower sperm count and motility.
- Weight disorders: Being overweight raises the infertility risk. Obesity may lead to lower semen quality. People with eating disorders or on a restrictive diet are also at risk of fertility problems.
Consult a reproductive endocrinologist if you have infertility symptoms. Your doctor will recommend treatment options.
Epithalon overview
What is Epithalon? It’s a synthetic version of epithalamin, a pineal gland polypeptide. Peptides are short strings of 2–50 amino acids. Epithalon comprises four amino acids (alanine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, and glycine).
Epithalon is an anti-aging peptide because it extends the chromosome’s life. These DNA packages transmit genetic information from one generation to the next. They also condense the DNA structure to maintain its structure.
Chromosomes contain the DNA for the following:
- The traits or phenotype of an individual
- Gene regulation
- Protein synthesis
- Cellular replication
Telomeres are caps at both chromosome ends that protect the genome. The long telomeres promote robust cell health and reproduction. Their length shortens every time the cell replicates.
The cell degrades and dies when telomere length reaches a critical limit. Lifestyle habits may also speed up the shortening process by damaging the DNA. These phenomena affect an individual’s health and lifespan.
An enzyme (telomerase) can rebuild telomeres and restore cell division. This is how Epithalon extends life. It increases telomerase production.
Benefits and potential applications
Epithalon offers anti-aging and health benefits, like:
- Extending life expectancy by lengthening telomeres that promote cell replication and rejuvenation.
- Preventing dementia.
- Protecting cells from damage caused by oxidation.
- Promoting better sleep.
- Speeding up wound healing.
- Boosting energy and decreasing stress.
- Improving skin health and appearance.
- Normalizing the circadian rhythm
Epithalon and fertility
Many of Epithalon’s benefits may help people with infertility.
Increased antioxidant levels
Oxidative stress (OS) occurs when you have low antioxidant levels. This condition can lead to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, and unexplained infertility. OS may also cause sperm dysfunction.
Epithalon is a potent antioxidant. It also increases the production of another powerful antioxidant, melatonin. Raising the antioxidant levels with Epithalon may improve male and female fertility.
Normalizing circadian rhythms
Circadian rhythms influence vital body functions, including hormone release and sleep patterns. A disruption in these factors can lead to infertility.
Studies show sleep affects women’s reproductive functions. Lack of quality slumber can disrupt women’s menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and menopause.
Sleep deprivation also makes the body produce more cortisol. The stress hormone can reduce estrogen, testosterone, and other reproductive hormones. Hormonal imbalances also impact the ovulation process and conception system.
Epithalon stimulates melatonin production, which normalizes your body’s biological clock. Getting enough sleep and regulating hormone release may help treat infertility.
Treating cancer
Many cancer treatments currently use peptides. Peptide-alone therapy may boost the immune system’s response to destroy tumor cells. Peptide-based vaccines in advanced cancer treatments improve patient’s survival rates.
Epithalon produces anti-cancer effects in animal trials. A study showed Epithalon hindered tumor development in rats exposed to natural light.
As cancer treatments may cause infertility, inhibiting cancers could minimize the risk.
Helping fertility and reproduction
Healthy oocytes (immature eggs) are vital for fertilization and embryo development. Ovulated oocytes will degenerate if they aren’t timely fertilized.
Aging oocytes result in embryo malformation and failed pregnancy. Epithalon can protect oocytes against postovulatory aging due to reduced oxidative stress.
Safety considerations
Epithalon doesn’t have hormones, reducing the risk of adverse side effects. The peptide is like BPC-157 and Ipamorelin. It mimics a naturally occurring body enzyme.
Doctors administer Epithalon topically, orally, and by nasal sprays. These methods aren’t effective as the digestive tract destroys peptides before they reach the bloodstream. Healthcare professionals prefer subcutaneous injections as they avoid the problem.
Injections may cause redness and swelling in the treated area. These effects usually subside in three days. Let your doctor know if you’re sensitive to needles.
Follow your doctor’s instructions, as some patients have nausea when taking a high dosage.
Personalized use and consultation
Consult a medical professional before undergoing a peptide-based treatment. It’s vital to discuss your expectations and goals. Your doctor will assess your health and determine if the peptide is safe for you. He or she will explain the procedure, outcome, and side effects.
Ensure you inform your healthcare provider of the following:
- Allergies or sensitivities you have
- Medication and supplements you’re taking
- You’re pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding
Follow your doctor’s dosage and instructions. Don’t self-dose or change the dosage without consulting a professional. Adhere to the recommended schedule.
Inform your healthcare provider if you notice any unusual symptoms after the treatment. Your doctor may test your hormone levels or markers regularly to check your progress.
Can Epithalon help with infertility?
Epithalon offers benefits that may improve your chances of having a baby. The potent antioxidant reduces oxidative stress that affects male and female fertility.
The peptide also increases melatonin production. The hormone resets your circadian rhythm and boosts antioxidant levels. Enhancing sleep quality may reduce the effects that disrupt the reproductive process.
Epithalon’s role in preventing cancers improves your well-being. Healthy adults have a higher chance of conceiving. You also avoid cancer treatments that damage your reproductive organs.
