Pineal tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) — telomerase & circadian research
The longevity peptide. Run in short seasonal courses, Epitalon supports healthy aging — and users rave about the deep, dreamy sleep it brings.
Epitalon is a longevity peptide with a cult following. It comes from the pineal gland and is studied for its effects on telomeres and your body clock — and unlike most peptides, it's run in short bursts (a couple of weeks, once or twice a year) rather than daily.
What people actually feel is sleep: deeper rest and vivid dreams within days, with the longevity benefits more assumed than sensed. It's an honest "hope and mechanism" peptide — the human evidence is limited and comes from a small cluster of researchers, and the telomere findings are mostly from cells in a dish, not living people. Worth trying for the sleep and the theory, with clear eyes about what's proven.
Animal and lab data Studied in animals and in the lab. Consistent results and a good safety record in people who use it, but not the same thing as a human trial.
10 mg · Every evening, for 10 days only
No titration. This is a fixed short course — 10mg (40 units) every evening for ten days, then stop.
That is 40 units on a U-100 insulin syringe — from a 50 mg vial mixed with 2 ml of water, which gives you 25 mg/ml.
Add the water slowly down the inside of the glass and roll it — never shake it. Keep it in the fridge at 2–8 °C once mixed.
The same compound, aimed at different things, and they do not all land in the same place. The Protocol Builder will pick one for you if you would rather not choose.
