Add 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 50 mg vial, injecting slowly down the inside wall. Swirl gently; never shake. This yields a concentration of 25 mg/mL.
What is the recommended dose of Epithalon?
A typical research dose is 10 mg. Consult the ASCEND calculator for your specific vial concentration and draw volume.
How many doses are in a Epithalon vial?
A 50 mg vial reconstituted with 2 mL BAC water yields approximately 5 doses at 10 mg each.

What is the mechanism of Epithalon?
Epithalon (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) is a synthetic tetrapeptide that stimulates telomerase activity in somatic cells, potentially increasing telomere length. It also normalizes cortisol and melatonin rhythms and has been shown to extend lifespan in rodent models.
How long does a typical Epithalon cycle last?
Standard research protocols use 10 mg/day via subcutaneous injection for 10–20 consecutive days, 1–2 times per year. This episodic cycling mirrors the approach used in the original Russian clinical research on bioregulator peptides by Khavinson and colleagues.
What evidence exists for Epithalon extending lifespan?
Multiple studies by Khavinson et al. showed Epithalon extended mean and maximum lifespan in mice, fruit flies, and other models. Human clinical data from Russian studies suggests improved health markers in elderly subjects. Telomerase activation is considered the primary proposed mechanism.
