What is Epitalon used for?
Epitalon is most commonly used for users running longevity-focused stacks; people with disrupted circadian rhythm or sleep architecture; older adults experimenting with anti-aging protocols. Studied as an anti-aging and sleep-cycle peptide. A tetrapeptide derived from epithalamin, looked at for telomerase activation and circadian / pineal support, with limited human data. Human evidence for Epitalon is limited, so these are the goals people pursue with it, not guaranteed outcomes.
