Epitalon (also spelled Epithalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide consisting of four amino acids (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) that has been the subject of longevity research for decades. Developed by Russian scientist Vladimir Khavinson, Epitalon is believed to activate telomerase, the enzyme responsible for maintaining telomere length at the ends of chromosomes. Telomere shortening is associated with cellular aging, and maintaining telomere length may slow aspects of the aging process at the cellular level.
