Epitalon
★ 70Epithalon / Epithalamin
Telomerase activator — longevity peptide
Anti-AgingAbout
A Russian peptide that activates the telomerase enzyme and lengthens telomeres. The most-studied longevity peptide.
Mechanism
Increases telomerase activity, preserving telomere length. Also promotes melatonin production.
