Epithalon (Epitalon) 50mg Overview
Epithalon (Epitalon) 50mg from Peptide Science is the high-strength single-vial format of the synthetic pineal tetrapeptide with the sequence Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly, supplied as a lyophilised powder for in-vitro telomerase-activation and preclinical longevity research. The 50 mg pack is the largest single-vial Epithalon format in the catalogue and supports multi-month cell-culture series where one reconstitution event covers the entire experimental window.
Compound Class and Mechanism
Epithalon belongs to the Khavinson short-peptide class, a family of synthetic two-to-four-residue peptides derived from bioregulator-fraction studies of mammalian tissues. The tetrapeptide has been characterised in cell-culture research for telomerase-enzyme activation and downstream effects on telomere-length maintenance, with additional preclinical work on pineal-gland melatonin synthesis and circadian-gene expression in animal models.

Reconstitution and Handling
The lyophilised vial reconstitutes with bacteriostatic water at the working concentration set by the principal investigator. Aliquoting reconstituted stock for single-use frozen storage is the standard preclinical handling practice cited in peptide-research literature, since repeated freeze-thaw cycles degrade short-sequence peptides.
Quality and Shipping
Each batch passes HPLC at greater than 99 percent purity, with mass-spectrometry identity confirmation against the theoretical molecular weight. A Certificate of Analysis accompanies every order. Material is filled in a US laboratory under ISO 9001:2015-aligned quality systems and dispatched in temperature-monitored insulated packaging via overnight or two-day courier.
