Before we can discuss how Epitalon works, let us focus on our genetic make-up, that is, DNA. DNA is embedded in the nucleus of our cells. At the tips of our DNA are strands called telomeres. Telomeres protect DNA and prevent the loss of genetic information during cell division.

However, each cell division inadvertently shortens telomeres. This shortening can also be exacerbated by oxidative stress. When telomeres shorten to a critical size, the cell grows old, which causes aging as we know it.

However, the body produces an enzyme called telomerase, which combats the degradation of telomeres, promoting their rejuvenation and DNA repair. Younger people produce more telomerase and therefore have longer telomeres. Longer telomeres encourage better cell health and rejuvenation. Older people produce less of this enzyme, which causes cells to grow old and die.

This is where Epitalon comes in. It triggers the natural production of telomerase by working on the pineal gland in the brain. Increased telomerase levels protect telomeres from degradation and shortening, thereby aiding in the growth of new cells and rejuvenation of old ones. This effectively slows down aging.

Although Epitalon is known for its anti-aging benefits, it has several other health benefits such as:

• It lengthens telomeres, which promotes cell replication and rejuvenation, extending life expectancy
• It helps prevent age-related diseases such as dementia
• It has antioxidant effects, protecting cells from damage caused by oxidation
• Promotes better sleep
• Accelerates wound healing
• It boosts energy and decreases stress
• Improves skin health and appearance
• It normalizes the circadian rhythm

Although Epitalon can be administered in various ways, on the skin, orally, and even nasal sprays. When it comes to peptides, subcutaneous or intramuscular injections are the most effective. This is because peptides are easily broken down and destroyed in the digestive tract. This means that if you take Epitalon peptide orally, you may lose most of the benefits as most of it will be destroyed before reaching your bloodstream. If you are averse to needles, you may inquire with your doctor on the effectiveness of particular oral peptides as some are encapsulated in ways that prevent degradation. Nasal sprays are also quite common with this peptide.

Epitalon comes in powder form, which you have to ‘reconstitute’ or mix with sterilized water before use. The package should come with instructions on how to do this, including exact measurements. Once you have reconstituted Epitalon, you must store it in a cold place away from light or in the fridge.

Regarding Epitalon dosage, you should consult your doctor for a prescription based on your needs. On average, you may take 5-10mg per day, injected subcutaneously in the abdomen or belly button. It is advisable that you start with a low dose, which can be adjusted upwards if need be. A cycle can be anywhere between 10-20 days, depending on the dosage, repeated twice a year.

We have seen that Epitalon has numerous side effects, including combating aging. You must be wondering, however, whether Epitalon has any side effects.

Similar to other peptides like BCP 157 and Ipamorelin, Epitalon mimics an enzyme that already occurs naturally in the body. Additionally, it does not contain any hormones, which drastically reduces its chances of causing adverse side effects.

If you take Epitalon injections, you may experience swelling and redness in the injection area. People who start with a high dose may experience some mild nausea. On average, Epitalon is safe and does not cause any adverse side effects.
