Evidence Passport

Epitalon

Evidence strength, status, identity, route and safety are scored separately.

Reviewed 2026-08-31

Human evidence

Human source linked; classification pending

A human source exists, but its strength and applicability have not completed review.

Development status

Investigational — phase 2

Investigational development is not the same as approval or product suitability.

Identity match

Named compound linked

Sources are linked to the named compound; formulation and product quality remain separate questions.

Route relevance

Study protocol recorded

At least one linked source records a studied protocol; it remains study context, not an instruction.

Safety record

4 documented flags

Documented flags are visible, but absence of a listed risk would not prove safety.

What is still missing?

No major catalogue gap is flagged, but personal suitability and product quality remain separate.

Mechanism of Action

A naturally occurring tetrapeptide that induces telomerase enzyme activity by upregulating hTERT mRNA expression. Promotes dose-dependent telomere length extension in normal human epithelial and fibroblast cells. Regulates melatonin production and circadian rhythm.

Research areas reported in source material

These topics describe the catalogue's research index. They are not promised outcomes or personal recommendations.

  • Telomere lengthening via hTERT upregulation
  • Improved sleep quality
  • Enhanced melatonin production
  • Anti-aging effects at cellular level
  • Telomerase activation for longevity

Safety & Risks

  • May affect sleep patterns initially
  • Limited long-term human data
